readx;
After resting in this inn for a night, everyone continued to set off, and after three days, the new army had arrived in Datong, and Liu Chengfeng and others also entered Datong City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After taking a look at several officials in Datong, Liu Chengfeng was not much interested in dealing with them anymore, although these people were polite, but looking at Liu Chengfeng's eyes, it was always a little strange.
Besides, time is pressing, and the hearts of the people inside the tile spur are not attached, but who can say what special means the Khan Court will take to win over the hearts of the people, when it is said, Liu Chengfeng and Li Ruofan rode horses and took more than a thousand new troops out of the city.
The equipment of the new army was very simple, and in addition to the guns, gunpowder, and steel balls that they carried with them, each person carried five days of rations, and as for the rest, they were supplemented by other means.
The way to replenish Liu Chengfeng has already been decided, such as the artillery of the artillery battalion, as well as the grain and straw, which are quietly transported by the caravan. In this desert, the caravan can move unhindered, and anyone who dares to touch the caravan with a finger will be a catastrophe for them, because the smuggling caravan has been completely eradicated, and some daily necessities such as iron, salt, and tea required by the various ministries must rely on this huge treasure caravan to maintain.
Therefore, any search or attack on the caravan is strictly forbidden by the ministries, and none of the tribes in the desert are fools, and the most stupid thing is to fish for the best of the water. Only those horse thieves who roam the desert have this courage, but it is a pity that these people can often only gather dozens or hundreds of people, and the caravan has its own guards, and most of the time they are not afraid of these horse thieves.
Liu Chengfeng had already expected that even if the Tile Thorn people suspected that the caravan was a little famous, they would not do anything to the caravan before they tore their faces, and the reason was actually simple, because the desert at this time was no longer the unified desert of the past, and the caravan was like a weight, once the trade with the Tile Thorns was prohibited, and a large number of iron tools were transported to the Tartars, then the Tile Thorns would be weakened to a certain extent.
It is precisely because of this that the Khan's court had earlier met with the various departments of the alliance and agreed not to do anything to the caravan, if the Khan's court unilaterally violated the promise he made, its prestige would be gone, and if he wanted to restrain the various departments, everyone might not dare to be credulous anymore.
At night, the scout in front came to report that Pingyuan Fort had arrived.
Liu Chengfeng listened, the mood was gloomy, and took people into Pingyuan Fort to rest temporarily, at this time Pingyuan Fort is full of wreckage and broken walls, the former lively market has been desolate, the Ming army has retaken over here, the survivors are still looking for the remains of their relatives, and ten miles south of Pingyuan Fort, it is even more ghostly and quiet, gushing, there is a place to bury relatives, almost everyone is wearing filial piety clothes and hats, entering here, Liu Chengfeng has never seen anyone show the slightest smile, there are sad people everywhere.
The Ming army here was transferred from the towns not far away, and they were not familiar with it, but the barracks had been destroyed, so they could only temporarily set up tents, and the local garrison came to greet Liu Chengfeng once, Liu Chengfeng sent him away, and he needed to be quiet and digest what he had heard, heard, and seen.
The full moon is in the sky, and the sky is full of stars.
Only here did Liu Chengfeng deeply feel a resentment, the entire Pingyuan Fort was surrounded by resentment, and even Liu Chengfeng himself was stunned by this atrocity.
A month ago, these people were still alive, most of them were unarmed, every thought and thought was just food and clothing, their lives were very simple, there was no deceit, they would not think about any great future, like most people, they said they came out and did not rest.
But......
If it is a war, Liu Chengfeng will admit it, and people will die in the war, and the war is killing. It's just a so-called surprise attack, but it's just an idea used by a powerful minister to defeat a political opponent, this person...... How terrible it is.
There is a kind of people, they are born in conspiracy, weaving one conspiracy after another all the time, heaven and earth are their chess game, and the common people are their chess pieces, even so, they will not feel a little guilty, but complacent.
Liu Chengfeng was furious.
Ask yourself, he is indeed not a good person, he is a bastard in his bones, but when he sees the real beast, he has a murderous intent all over his body.
This is a newly renovated house, which used to be inhabited by a large family, but now it has become a borderless place, and the local garrison in order to flatter Liu Chengfeng, so Liu Chengfeng stayed here tonight. Although there was no blood here, he couldn't hear the scream in this courtyard a month ago, and he couldn't see the terrible scene, but Liu Chengfeng could still smell the blood in the air.
In the middle of the night, the night is long, and I have no intention of sleeping.
Standing in the courtyard, the cold wind blew, Liu Chengfeng was extremely awake, and behind him, a voice suddenly came out: "Haven't you slept yet?" ”
Liu Chengfeng didn't have to turn around to know who was coming.
"Didn't the county lord sleep too?"
Li Ruofan smiled, now she has resumed the dress of the spur person, a small jacket, wearing a warm hat on her head, making her a little more heroic, she slowly paced to Liu Chengfeng's side, and said slowly: "I didn't think you would also have a sad time?" ”
Liu Chengfeng glanced at this woman coldly, and said lightly: "Am I sad?" ”
Li Ruofan's tone was flat, and he said, "You can't fool me, just because...... It's just because we are all the same people, cold outside, and don't let people get close, but ......" her cherry lips closed one by one, and she stopped talking...... Liu Chengfeng sneered and said, "Really? It turns out that the county lord is such a person? ”
Li Ruofan's face became cold, and he said, "Liu Yanshi misunderstood me too deeply. ”
"Really?" Liu Chengfeng's heart couldn't help but soften, and said, "Are you still thinking about your father?" ”
Li Ruofan shook his head, a trace of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and said: "No, people can't be resurrected after death, all I want is revenge, kill Beru and Vashorn Khan, and I will have no worries in this world." ”
She looked at Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng under the moonlight, it looked very gloomy, under the sword eyebrows, a pair of eyes were even deeper, just like this night, always covered with a layer of mist, so that people can never see clearly.
After hesitating for a moment, she suddenly said, "Liu is ...... matter."
Liu Chengfeng said: "You say." ”
Li Ruofan looked at him expectantly and said, "If one day, another day you find out that I lied to you again, will you hate me?" ”
This question was very mindless, but Liu Chengfeng's answer was very simple, and said: "It's not once that I've been deceived by you, why hate me?" ”
Li Ruofan's face instantly became gloomy, and her lips trembled slightly, as if to say, it turned out to be ...... Not even hate.
She smiled sadly, this strong and cunning woman suddenly felt a little more lonely and lonely, and the silver bell-like voice said: "It's going to be out of the jam tomorrow, so let's go to bed early." ”
After a night without words, Liu Chengfeng didn't sleep well, he seemed to see countless people running around in the chaos of the firelight, there were children, old people, and women with three-inch golden lotus. Behind them, the hungry wolf opened their bloody jaws, their fangs stained with blood...... The next morning, the brigade finally set off, and then walked dozens of miles, it was the nearest front line of the Ming Dynasty near the tile spur, everywhere was a barren, the sentry post and the side plug could be seen every few miles, occasionally, there would be scouts of the Ming army passing by, in this kind of place met the fellow villagers, everyone felt unusually cordial, so when resting on the spot, Liu Chengfeng would ask people to call the scouts nearby to come over and eat together with some dry food carried.
Of course, from the mouths of these scouts, Liu Chengfeng gradually has some understanding of the situation on this side, this is the front line of the Tile Thorn and the Tatar, the Tile Thorn and the Tatar have no border, so no matter what the enemy is, if you want to attack Xuanfu, this is the only way, after breaking the obstacles here, they will arrive at the bottom of Datong, and the role of these sentry posts and fortresses is not to low-grade the enemy in this desert, but to give early warning, and with the help of fortresses and fortresses to block the attack of the robbers, Prepare the rear for the enemy.
That is to say, these star-studded sentry posts and fortresses have been the outcasts of the Ming Dynasty from the beginning, and once something happens, they will not get any support, and their only role is to delay and warn.
Liu Chengfeng saw these people, and even when he passed by the sentry post, he found that these soldiers whose faces were already frozen red were particularly cute, they may have spoken rudely, or they may have been often bought by smuggling merchants, but these people still have flashes that cannot be concealed.
Out of the abduction fort, and then there is a fertile field, Liu Chengfeng looks at it, this grassland is almost endless, and then take a step forward, Liu Chengfeng knows that this is another world, a world where the strong are respected and there is no reason to talk about, cut off civilization, and some are just a world of brutal killing.
He took a deep breath and waved his big hand: "Go." ”
More than a thousand knights galloped with him, and accidentally bumped into a few shepherds who did not know whether they were Thorns or Tatars, Liu Chengfeng did not bother, but after marching twenty miles north, a team of men and horses appeared in front of them.
Seven or eight hundred fierce knights scattered into a line, all wearing sheep jackets, only a few people wore leather armor, with a unique pointed fur hat of the Mongolian people, the two sides gradually approached, Liu Chengfeng did not feel the hostility of the other party, because if there was hostility, the cavalry would never be scattered into a word, so that they would be crushed by the other party at any time, not to mention that at this time, there was already a person in the opponent's array who stopped the advance of the troops, and he himself reined in the horse and rushed towards Liu Chengfeng like a whirlwind.
Da Da ...... Da Da ......
