"Dutou, now there are Mongolian Tatars outside, what should we do?" A Yu Hou looked at Cai Qing in a bit of a panic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Cai Qing leaned against the wall, panting softly. At that time, Sun Huchen ordered to send a person from the capital to go ashore to investigate, and Cai Qing's capital was selected, and Cai Qing did not realize what was waiting for him at that time. It wasn't until this moment that he understood.

War, broke out.

And as a veteran who has not participated in several major wars, he has been deeply swept into the deepest part of this war whirlpool, and it is difficult to get out. Not to mention the dozens of brothers with whom he spent his days and nights, most of whom were facing death and killing for the first time.

"The commander asked us to go ashore to explore the situation of the city ship division, now we just walked to the left of the dock and saw the cavalry of the Mongolian Tartars, the city ship division must be more than lucky, all heads, let's hurry up and retreat." Another ten general stepped forward quickly, "At this time, the brothers gritted their teeth and went out, and maybe they could find a way to live." ”

Exhaled, Cai Qing looked up at the Ten Generals and Marquis Yu, and said in a deep voice: "What is the first article of the Ming military order?" ”

Both of them were stunned for a moment, and then lowered their voices and whispered: "Soldiers take obedience to military orders as their duty. ”

Cai Qing nodded and slowly stood up: "Obey the order!" ”

In fact, the distance from the dock to the city is not far, after all, the Mongols could not kindly set aside too much land for the Ming Dynasty to use for trade and even secret espionage. But this stretch of the road is now definitely the most dangerous in the world.

Raging fires burned from both sides of the road, engulfing the shops, and the streets were littered with fallen people, and in front of the sabers of the Mongol cavalry, the Han Chinese in the north were not much different from the merchants in the south. In addition, because the city company lit the wolf smoke in advance, most of the merchants had already retreated, and most of the people left here were overwhelmed locals or hired servants, and even some people who were not afraid of death could be seen taking advantage of this opportunity to rush to the shops to smash and loot.

Unable to care about it so much, Cai Qing took three steps and two steps and rushed to the steps in front of the door of the market.

The gate of the city has been smashed open, the open courtyard is in a mess, the corpses of the Mongolian soldiers and the Ming soldiers are overlapped, the flagpole that once fluttered the red dragon flag of the Ming Dynasty has been broken, and the flag has fallen to the ground, full of dust, I don't know how many people have stepped on it.

Cai Qing felt a pain in his heart, seeing the scene in front of him, he already understood that this time he was probably more than lucky, but he didn't have time to think about it, and while ordering his subordinates to control the surroundings of the gate, he rushed towards the inside of the city.

"Southern Barbarian!" Before he reached the second entrance, there was an exclamation, and more than a dozen Mongolian soldiers holding gold and silver in their hands looked at the Ming army that suddenly appeared in front of them and was fully armed.

The pupils shrank suddenly, Cai Qing had already raised his knife and killed the Mongolian soldier in front, and the crossbowmen behind reacted, and the divine arm crossbow was raised and shot indiscriminately. Cai Qing's palms and foreheads were covered with sweat, and he walked over to look at the Mongolian soldiers who had died, and spat hard, but the appearance of these Mongolian soldiers here further confirmed Cai Qing's conjecture.

After a moment of silence, he reached out and pushed open the half-hidden door

The blood flowed all the way to the threshold, and what came into view was the corpses that were horizontal and vertical, and the officials of the City Department wearing the official uniforms of the Ming Dynasty fell to the ground one by one with their blades in their hands, and everyone was glaring angrily, and they could imagine that they were still trying to kill the enemy at the last moment of their lives.

In front of them, there were indeed two or three corpses of Mongolian soldiers, but it is conceivable that it is very good to let these powerless civilian officials against the generals be able to achieve such results. Cai Qing closed his eyes, and the soldiers behind him were silently watching the tragic scene in front of him at this time. And the two ten generals who rushed to the back from the side corridor also strode back with a gloomy look on their faces at this time, and stood in front of Cai Qing without saying a word.

"How?" Cai Qing asked in a deep voice.

The two ten generals glanced at each other and shook their heads, there were even tears in their eyes, and one of them had a choked voice: "All heads, miserable, too miserable, twenty or thirty people, all died there, including the female dependents, they have also committed suicide." ”

"Let's go, go over and have a look." Cai Qing said in a deep voice.

There are more corpses in the backyard, the backyard is where the families of these officials of the city department live, a row of side rooms are laid out, which looks a little simple, and each room is open, and you can see the fallen corpses at the door. Obviously, the soldiers guarding the city have been loyal to the Ming until the last moment, and the corpses of male and female servants are intertwined in the room, and blood covers the entire ground.

couldn't bear to look at it from room to room, Cai Qing rushed directly to the study.

The head of the city ship department lifted the city ship envoy to fall against the wall, he still held a dagger in his hand, but this dagger finally pierced his chest, and the head of the Ming army guarding the city ship division also fell at the door of the study, holding a blood-stained Pu knife in his hand, and a circle of Mongolian soldiers fell beside him.

Cai Qing exhaled softly, and there was a mess in the study, obviously the Mongolian Tartars had rummaged here, but they didn't find anything. However, Cai Qing soon noticed that the hand of the envoy of the lifting city was holding down a brick on the ground. After a moment of silence, Cai Qing stepped forward and carefully removed the corpse of the hero, looked at the floor tile with the bloody handprint, took a breath, and pressed down sharply.

The walls slowly parted, and narrow sandwich walls appeared. The surrounding soldiers all looked surprised.

Cai Qing walked over cautiously, but he was stunned.

There were several scrolls and a letter in the middle of the wall, and of course more importantly, an infant was lying there quietly, because the baby had a cloth in its mouth, so although its little face was red, it did not make a sound.

Carefully taking the baby out, Cai Qing handed it to the ten generals beside him, then picked up the letter, just glanced at it, and slowly closed it, and the iron-beaten man burst into tears at this moment.

"Dutou, the Mongolian Tatar cavalry outside seems to have discovered us and are rushing to this side!" A Marquis Yu ran over in a hurry.

Cai Qing stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears, turned around and shouted: "Pass on a certain order, blow up the back wall, alternately cover the retreat, and prepare another fire to burn this city." ”

"Burn it?!" Several soldiers looked at Cai Qing in surprise.

Glancing back at the corpse of the envoy of the lifting city, Cai Qing said in a deep voice: "The bones of our heroes can't be left to the Mongolian Tartars to be wanton ****, burn all this!" ”

Looking at the child crying in a low voice, the faces of the Yu Marquis and the ten generals were flushed, and they all went down to send their subordinates without saying a word. They were still frightened just now, but when they saw with their own eyes the tragic scene in the city, no one wanted to back down.

Even these civilian officials were able to pick up their blades and fight to the death against the Mongol Tatars, let alone their soldiers. Come on, the Mongolian Tartars will come, the Jiaozhou sailors are rampant on the sea, and they will not be afraid of you on land!

The explosion of the explosive pack rang out, even drowning out the sound of the horse's hooves that were getting closer, and the billowing smoke replaced the previous wolf smoke and rose in the courtyard of the city, and the flames engulfed everything in the world.

Several chaotic figures burst out of the smoke, but were soon shot by arrows whizzing from one side. Cai Qing waved his hand, and the soldiers of the Ming army rushed quickly down the alley outside the back wall towards the port. Before leaving, Cai Qing remembered something, and whispered a command, and a ten-year general immediately turned around and rushed into the front yard, although the Mongolian cavalry had rushed to the door, he still pushed away a corpse on the ground, picked up the red dragon flag that had been trampled on by many people, and then chased back to the brigade.

"Put!" The broken Marquis gave the order, and the crossbowmen pulled the trigger at the same time.

――――――――――――――――――――――

"It's the explosion of the explosives pack," Sun Huchen muttered.

"General Qiyu, almost all the people on the dock have withdrawn, and now our merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty have retreated to the open sea under the protection of the sailors." A Yu Hou walked over quickly and said loudly.

Sun Huchen nodded, although the sailor had already pulled the posture apart before, he didn't have the courage to really order the cannonball, after all, there were still many Ming people on the dock, and the most important purpose of the sailor to come was to ensure the safety of these people, not to fire at the Mongolian Tartars.

Through the clairvoyance, you can clearly see that there is a fire rising from the side of the city. Already vaguely aware that the war is breaking out in front of him, Sun Huchen's hands trembled a little, and at the same time, he also secretly gritted his teeth, although he has deduced the possible situation again and again, but when the war really comes, Sun Huchen is still inevitably nervous.

What's more, the one who was sent ashore before didn't have any news, and once he opened fire rashly, it was very likely to injure his own people.

At this moment, a small boat approached the flagship of the sailor, and several businessmen who had had a few encounters with Sun Huchen before came a little embarrassed, and before they got close to Sun Huchen, they were already about to bow to the ground, with a cry in their voices: "General Sun, the generals of the Ming Dynasty, you have to be the master for us!" ”

Sun Huchen was stunned, and he couldn't care about the situation on the other side of the dock, so he hurriedly greeted him: "A few people don't need to be like this, please hurry up, my big gelatin state sailor escorts you just to ensure your safety." I wonder if you can tell me what's going on on this shore? ”

Several businessmen hurriedly said: "Mongolian Tartars, today the cavalry of Mongolian Tartars suddenly went to the street, and they started to kill, and the city only had time to release wolf smoke over there, because the shops are all close to the dock, we are usually cautious and careful, and when we see this wolf smoke, we understand that something is wrong, so we run fast, but I am afraid that the city ship division will be more auspicious!" ”

"What?" Sun Huchen Huo Ran turned around.

The surrounding Ming soldiers all clenched their blades.

"Gentlemen, you have to call the shots for us!" A group of businessmen shouted sadly, "We are rich in the Ming Dynasty, and if we lose our goods, we will lose them, but human life is at stake, but we can let the Mongolian Tartars take advantage of this, and the prestige of the Ming Dynasty will be trampled by the Mongolian Tartars today!" ”

The severity of the situation has exceeded Sun Huchen's imagination. He didn't know why the Mongolian Tatars suddenly made a move, and now he only heard the words of these merchants, and he hadn't even seen the Mongolian Tatar cavalry on the dock, but looking at the situation in front of him, Sun Huchen already understood that Cai Qing, who was sent ashore, was already very lucky.

And there is not much time left for him.

"All ships obey the order, prepare!" Sun Huchen Huo Ran pulled out his knife.

"Look, General!" A sharp-eyed soldier suddenly shouted.

Sun Huchen was stunned.

I saw nearly 100 figures on the dock appear, but they just fought and retreated.

The cavalry roared down the street towards the rear of the men, but was soon overwhelmed by the dense barrage of arrows from the crossbows. The explosion of thistles can be heard clearly from the ship. A red dragon flag was broken, but it danced proudly in the wind.

Sun Huchen subconsciously raised his clairvoyance.

At the end of the street, a figure dressed as a capital head was directing the crossbowmen to shoot, while gesturing something towards the sea, trying his best to look, Sun Hucheng already understood, because the capital head had been repeating the action of the sailor ordering the cannon.

Cai Qing, it's Cai Qing! Sun Huchen has already recognized this usually silent and very low-key capital. And vaguely clearly, Cai Qing seemed to be holding a child in his arms.

"Fire, fire in depth!" Sun Huchen has already made up his mind.

At this time, don't hesitate!

"Fire!" The head behind him roared.

"Fire!" On the surrounding naval warships, countless people were roaring.

At this moment, all the warships shook violently, and the flying thunder cannons unleashed earth-shattering anger towards the dock. As if a strong wind swept across the dock, those Mongolian cavalry who wanted to approach the Ming soldiers were torn to pieces by this giant hand that fell from the sky.

Houses that looked sturdy also collapsed in the wind.

Standing in the wind, Cai Qing just squinted, and all the soldiers in front of him and behind him also stopped moving at this moment, and there was no need for them to worry, the flying thunder cannon of the sailor opened an insurmountable fire net in front of them, and the Mongolian cavalry who understood that they did not want to pursue.

Although the Mongol cavalry was brave and good at fighting, they were not yet to the point where they were overwhelmed and hit stones with eggs.

A warship slowly leaned over and lowered the boat, while Cai Qing's legs were weak and he almost fell to his knees.

This was actually the first time he was on the front line, and fortunately he was not dishonored.

――――――――――――――――-

"Xie Ting, the minister of Ming Dengzhou, has crossed the ocean since he was ordered, and the merchants who come and go here to protect the country have never been dishonored. However, Dengzhou is the heart of the enemy, and the city is set up here, and there are great benefits in the country and the people, but there is the disaster of war between the two countries, and Dengzhou City will be the first to bear it. Therefore, when the minister dies, he will cover it with this body, and put the merchant ship files and official seals of the city and ship division in it, so that he can not be humiliated by the enemy. Damingden Prefecture Tiju City Bo Si Sheting. ”

Sun Huchen slowly closed the letter, this may have been written by Xie Ting before he came to Dengzhou, this Lord Xie who he had seen before and had a good impression was obviously ready to die here before this. It's just that thinking of the person who is a little chubby and always has a kind smile, Sun Huchen still can't help but feel a gloom in his heart.

"General, this is Xie Xianggong's child." Cai Qing carefully handed over the child who had fallen asleep in the swaddling clothes, "Xie Xianggong also wrote this note in the child's swaddling clothes. ”

Slightly stunned, Sun Huchen stretched out his hand to take it, this is not so much a note as a strip of cloth, obviously torn from the clothes at random, and the handwriting on it is also very sloppy, you can see it clearly when you look closely, obviously when you write these words, it is already the last moment.

"When I leave, I will have selfishness, this is the only son, and those who see it will be merciful and raised, and Yu Zi should smile at Jiuquan. Xie Ting's pen. ”

Slowly clutching the strip of cloth, Sun Huchen was silent for a long time.

Although he is used to seeing life and death, such life and death would not have happened.

Mongolian Tartars, they will inevitably pay the price of blood for this!

Gritting his teeth, he looked back at the smoke-filled docks.

"Pass on an order to send two warships to escort the merchant ships back, and the rest of the warships will follow a certain detour to the north." Sun Huchen shouted loudly.

"What is the general going to do?" Cai Qing Huoran looked at him.

Slammed the railing hard, facing the wind, Sun Huchen's eyes already had a strong killing intent in his eyes: "Blood debt and blood repayment, Mongolian Tatars attacked the city, Lord Xie died, this battle has begun!" Since the Mongolian Tatars are so ignorant, then tell them that the Jiaozhou sailor is no longer the original Jiaozhou sailor, and he wants to let Dengzhou moan in the artillery fire! ”

One by one, the warships slowly left the smoky dock, and the water on the sea near the pier was gradually dyed red. When all the soldiers left, they subconsciously looked at this prosperous place where there was once laughter and laughter, and also cast their eyes farther away with murderous intent.

The war that all the soldiers were waiting for came very suddenly.

But there's no way to dodge, so beat him up happily! (To be continued.) )
