Chapter 144: Take it when you see it
"Everyone is resisted by Lao Tzu, and the Tartars must not be allowed to rush over!"
A loud voice shouted behind Li Yuan, Li Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart when he heard this voice, this voice seemed to have a trace of strange power, which could soothe the mood of Li Yuan and the sergeants, because it was under the leadership of the owner of this voice that they fought all the way from Shandong to Jingshi. As long as this person is by their side, they don't have to be afraid of any situation, because no matter how fierce the enemy is, they can trample the opponent under their feet.
With this voice came, a tall figure soon appeared in front of them, followed by a group of sergeants wearing fiery red robes, and at the same time, there were countless galloping horses passing by both sides of the chariot array, and the strong and tall figure of the knights on the horse showed that those cavalry were battle-hardened warriors, and they were rushing towards the elite cavalry of the Qing army in front, it turned out that Pang Gang had finally arrived after defeating DΓΌre's thousands of foot soldiers.
Pang Gang, whose robe and armor had been stained red with blood, came to Li Yuan's side and asked in a deep voice, "Li Baihu, how are the casualties of the soldiers?" Can you continue to fight? β
Li Yuan smiled bitterly: "Back to the adult, the Tartars in front are crazy, if it weren't for the iron thorns and two chariot formations that the brothers who didn't collect at night before, this place would have been broken by the Tartars, although there is the cover of the sword and shield soldiers, but the Tartars desperately rushed to the front to cast bows and arrows, and the brothers also suffered nearly 100 casualties, and those Tartars also soaked the arrows in horse manure and urine, and those brothers who were wounded by arrows were in a very bad condition. β
Pang Gang gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, we will return to them ten times and a hundred times the things that the Tartars have put on us in the future, and now you will immediately retreat to the camp of our army with people!" β
"Retreat?" Li Yuan was stunned, he hesitated: "My lord, but our friendly troops are desperately fighting in the Tartars, let's not retreat now, right?" β
Pang Gang glanced at Li Yuan meaningfully and said softly: "Li Baihu, you have to remember that everyone has to share the wealth and the credit, so that you can go a long way!" β
When Li Yuan heard this, he suddenly realized, yes, our Lingshanwei has made enough limelight today, it is time for others to drink a bowl of soup, if he monopolizes this military exploit, he will be jealous.
Don't look at Pang Gang's performance on the battlefield just now, it was the posture of the desperate San Lang in the clothes he put on when there was no way, but now the soldiers have been fighting for a long time, and their bodies and minds are already exhausted, although they will win greater credit by following the friendly army, but he will not use the blood of the sergeants to gain a false name. There will be battles in the future, so why bother to do some thankless work.
With the orders issued by the officers, the sergeants of Lingshanwei packed up the remains of the robes that died in battle, picked up the wounded brother and slowly drove towards the Ming army camp.
Unlike Li Chongzhen, Zu Dashou and other more than 6,000 Ming troops who rushed to launch a counteroffensive against the cavalry led by Yangguli, Pang Gang and Lingshanwei and other thousands of soldiers slowly marched towards the opposite place The actions of many generals in the Ming army camp and Chongzhen on the city wall and the civil and military officials were all in the eyes, and many people nodded secretly after seeing their actions.
When Pang Gang led the soldiers to the front of the Ming army's array, he saw a middle-aged man who had passed the age of standing, wearing a delicate iron armor, wearing a red cloak, with a long beard on his face, and a trace of resoluteness and determination in his gentle face, and a look of not being angry and arrogant, was smiling and looking at himself, and more than a dozen people who looked like senior generals around him were standing aside like stars holding the moon.
For Lu Xiangsheng, the famous national hero Pang Gang in the history of the late Ming Dynasty, admired from the bottom of his heart, after Lu Xiangsheng and the Qing soldiers fought a fierce battle in Julu's Jiazhuang, not only the Ming Dynasty commended him, but even the Manchu Qing Dynasty praised him: In the world of danger and chaos, there is no lack of talent, and Gu is often not useful. Use it, or shackle its elbow and drive it away, and you will die. If so, people will do it, and it will be providential. When Lu Xiangsheng was in Emperor Zhuang Lie (Chongzhen), he was not an immortal talent, but he was trapped to death, what a yes! Inspired by loyalty and righteousness, regardless of danger, if Liu Zhilun and Qiu Minyang's disciples are exhausted, then the will of heaven can be known.
Such a character who even his opponents admire him, Pang Gang naturally does not dare to slack off on such a character. I saw Pang Gang take a step forward and kneel down on one knee and salute: "Pang Gang, who is a lowly servant in Lingshan Weiqianhu, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong, has been edicted to lead his troops to King Qin, and he has now arrived, and I ask Inspector Lu to forgive him for the crime of being late in his humble position." β
Lu Xiangsheng stepped forward and picked up Pang Gang, looked at Pang Gang's face covered with blood and sludge and smiled: "Pang Qianhu came from afar and worked hard all the way, and helped my army to beat the Tartars, what is the crime?" Hurry up, please. β
"Thank you, Inspector Lu!" Pang Gang thanked Lu Xiangsheng loudly, and then stood up.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at Pang Gang's height of more than one meter and eight meters after standing up, and the mace of dozens of pounds and a height of one person carried by the war horse behind him, nodded and smiled at the generals: "The Governor of Shicai saw that Pang Qianhu was like no one in the Tartar army in the big array, and even the thief chief Dule was also under the sword and knife of Pang Qianhu, which is really quite the majesty of Zhao Zilong in and out of the Changsaka slope back then!" β
After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's words, a middle-aged general with a full face also smiled and said: "Inspector Lu is right, just now I Lao Liu can see it clearly here, Pang Qianhu is suitable for killing well, and he is very happy!" It seems that our soldiers from Shandong are amazing! β
"Hahaha" The middle-aged general's words caused the surrounding generals to laugh, and a general with a two-handful mustache laughed and scolded: "Liu Zongbing, you really know how to put gold on your face, Pang Qianhu and you are not the same subordinate, you are a soldier, people are a tun army, you can't beat a piece of eight poles, how come it becomes your bragging capital in your mouth?" β
"Hahaha" The crowd laughed even harder.
Lu Xiangsheng also smiled and introduced: "Pang Qianhu, this governor is here to introduce you, this is Liu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Shandong Town, you are from a place, you must be close to each other in the future." β
As soon as Pang Gang heard this, the official position of the Shandong General Town Soldier is not small, and his status is equivalent to the commander and political commissar of the Jinan Military Region in later generations, and he is a regular army and a field army, and he is a veritable local emperor on this acre and three points of land in Shandong, and he belongs to the militia reserve at most, and his previous grade is not enough, and he is not qualified to contact officials of this level.
Pang Gang hurriedly stepped forward to greet Liu Zeqing, "The lowly Lingshan Wei Qianhu Pang Gang has seen Lord Liu. β
"Huh!" Liu Zeqing hurriedly stopped Pang Gang, who was about to give a salute on one knee, and said with a bold smile, "Pang Qianhu doesn't need to be polite, just as Mr. Ma said, you and I don't belong to each other, so you don't have to make a big salute, but it will look angry." β
When Pang Gang heard Liu Zeqing say this, he felt that this Liu Zongbing was a cheerful person, so he didn't insist on making a big salute and stood up.
"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to a few robes!" Liu Zeqing pulled Pang Gang and introduced him to the generals around him one by one, "This is Dong Yongwen, the chief soldier of Baoding, in addition to the general soldiers of Ningzhou and the general soldiers of Suzhou."
When Liu Zeqing introduced the surrounding generals to Pang Gang, Pang Gang was busy giving them salutes one by one, for no other reason, because the official positions of the people here were several levels higher than him, and the worst ones were at the level of deputy generals and staff generals.
When Pang Gang saluted everyone one by one, these generals smiled and nodded or returned the salute, not for anything else, but because Pang Gang's performance today was too eye-catching, and today's credit was really shot down, the emperor and the civil and military officials could see it clearly on the city gate, and no one could take away this credit. After today's battle, this Qianhu didn't dare to say that he was soaring, at least he would not be able to run if he was promoted a few levels in a row, and it would not be a wise move to put up a fight in front of this new upstart in the army who was destined to rise. Besides, just now Pang Gang knew how to give the rest of the credit to others after the reinforcements arrived, and did not swallow it himself, this kind of behavior in the eyes of everyone felt that the character of this thousand households was still good, and based on this, everyone would put down their bodies and talk and laugh with this thousand households. What surprised Pang Gang a little was that he also met a more famous figure in history here, Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, Shanxi, who was rumored to be a runaway general in later generations, but he had a good skin, two delicate mustaches, and a well-maintained white face, which looked like a little white face and more like a professional soldier.
After everyone saluted, Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the thousands of sergeants who had been standing solemnly in front of him and asked, "Pang Qianhu, are these all the sergeants you brought from Lingshanwei?" β
"Back to the superintendent, these are the soldiers brought from Lingshan Guard!" Pang Gang hurriedly replied.
"Good, good, these are good soldiers!" Lu Xiangsheng looked at the neatly standing behind Pang Gang, whether it was the injured sergeant or the baggage soldier, all of them did not squint, looked at the front with a calm face, although after a big battle, the whole formation was still neat, this was obviously a well-trained and well-ordered lion in a hundred battles.
In fact, not only Lu Xiangsheng, but many generals here have a strong interest in the soldiers behind Pang Gang.
