The two waited for more than an hour at the head of the city, and in the evening, smoke and dust rose in the distance, flags fluttered, and a neat queue moved towards Laiyang City, the two looked at each other, and the reinforcements arrived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the team came to the city, they were surprised, this is the reinforcements that defeated the Wenxiang Sect? This is only a Ming army of more than 400 people, of which more than 100 people are on horseback, and this point of men and horses can defeat the Wenxiang Sect.

Zhang Tao has been in office for many years, and he can see that these Ming soldiers are well-organized and well-trained, and many of the black iron armor are stained with black and red blood, and they look like they have just experienced the battle array.

"We are the soldiers of Denglai Jinghai Guard, defeated the Wenxiang Sect and relieved the siege of Laiyang, and let the city steward reply." One of the tall generals shouted at the top of his voice.

"This official is the commander of Laiyang County, I don't know who the general of the army is." Lin Dongze shouted in the city, but the lack of Zhongqi made his voice looming.

"The general Jinghaiwei left a thousand households Zhao Lie, today defeated the Wenxiang Sect rebellious people, killed nearly 1,000 of its subordinates, dozens of my subordinates were injured, Wangxian ordered the city to be opened, so that the injured soldiers can be treated as soon as possible." Zhao Lie shouted, and his voice resounded up and down the north gate.

Lin Dongze was waiting to open the city, but Zhang Tao stopped him,

"Dare to ask the general, who is the commander of Jing Haiwei now?" Zhang Tao shouted.

"The new commander is Chang Runing, Master Chang." Zhao Lie replied.

Zhang Tao nodded, he had seen the name of Jing Haiwei's commander in the newspaper, so he inquired, and it was not a big mistake to be careful.

Lin Dongze then ordered the city gate to be opened and the drawbridge to be lowered.

Lin Dongze came down to the city and saw that the soldiers who entered the city were all wearing black iron armor, and some of the soldiers were covered in blood. Some of the soldiers had only dust. But it's all waist straight. His eyes were sharp, and he was completely different from the Ming beggar soldiers he had seen before.

The last to enter the city was the main general Zhao Lie.

Zhao Lie got off the horse, and saw a short and thin official wearing a seven-rank official uniform approaching under the entourage of several people.

"General Zhao Lie, meet the county commander." Zhao Lie bowed his hand.

Lin Dongze was very displeased when he saw it, although the other party was a five-rank military general, and his own family was a seven-rank county order, but the Ming Dynasty respected the martial arts, and the five-rank military generals bowed and saluted when they saw the seven-rank military ministers. This person is just a peer, which is very disrespectful.

Lin Dongze looked at this person's tall and strong body that was a head taller than his own, he was dressed in iron armor and was imposing, his eyes were blazing, and most of his own momentum was immediately gone, this is a killing talent who has just killed hundreds of people, forget it, I don't have the same knowledge as you.

"This official Lin Dongze, Lord Zhao came to defeat the bandits this time and relieve the siege of Laiyang, and this official thanked the people of Laiyang on behalf of him." Lin Dongze squeezed out a few smiles and saluted back.

"Your Excellency is polite. They are all subordinates of the Ming Dynasty, and this is a matter of their part. Zhao Lie arched his hand, "This time, Lord Zhang, the chief soldier of Denglai, led more than 10,000 soldiers and horses to quell the chaos, and we waited for Jinghaiwei to be the forerunner of the brigade, and today we are hundreds of defeats, but there are too few soldiers to pursue, and when the army arrives in the future, the bandits will be wiped out." ”

Lin Dongze sneered in his heart, the vulgar martial artist will only boast of winning merit, hundreds of defeats, and thousands, you think you are Qi Ye, I bah. However, his years of career in the sea allowed him to maintain a professional smile, and others did not see his disdain.

"There are more than 20 wounded in our army, and there are still 50 soldiers who are cleaning up the battle ten miles northeast, and I hope that the Lord will send someone to respond." Zhao Lie said.

"This matter should be done in this county, Lord Zhang," Lin Dongze said with a full momentum at this time, completely ignoring the embarrassed appearance of half a day ago.

Zhang Tao replied,

"Lord Zhang, you personally arrange for the soldiers to rest, and let Cao Zhutou lead the men and horses to meet them."

Zhang Tao promised. First, he sent Cao Zhutou to lead more than 100 people to the battle, and then he personally placed Zhao Lie and others near the stage in the county, which was the only large empty venue in the city, and asked Zhao Lie to rest at the post station, but Zhao Lie refused.

Lin Dongze was also very unhappy with Zhao Lie's rudeness and rudeness, and did not prepare a banquet, but just asked his subordinates to send rice, grain, meat, and labor.

Lord Lin had a good night's sleep that night, changing the situation of sleeping less than an hour every night in the past few days, and waking up at the end of the morning.

After washing, Zhang Tao led Cao Zhutou to ask for a meeting.

Lin Dongze was also startled when he saw Cao Zhutou, only to see Cao Zhutou's eyes bloodshot, his face pale, and tired.

"My lord, the small one went out of the city yesterday, and there were nearly a thousand corpses of rebellious people at the place of battle, covering a radius of several miles, and it took me most of the night to cut off the head, and the body was buried, and I also collected several large truckloads of murder weapons, grain and rice and other sundries, and I only entered the city at the beginning of this morning." Cao Zhutou knelt down.

"This, what Zhao Qianhu said is true, they were all killed by hundreds of them, and there were no other soldiers." Lin Dongze was taken aback.

"My lord, there is no other Ming army, only these hundreds of people, and the scene at the battle is too terrifying." Cao Zhu's head sounded, and the various corpses that covered the field in the dim light shook under him, and it was really like hell at night, especially the various grinning faces still frightened him.

He didn't sleep all night last night. In addition, they captured more than 700 rioters. Yesterday, more than 120 seriously wounded people died in the night. ”

Lin Dongze was also shocked, no wonder this Qianhu Niu was angry, he was really a killer, how many lives did he have in his hands.

"My lord, my county is surrounded by people who smell incense and sect chaos, and it is the blessing of the people of my Laiyang to have such a tiger and wolf at this time." Zhang Tao has been trained for a long time, and of course he knows that the county magistrate is unhappy, but he is very lucky to have such a capable army in such troubled times.

"Master Zhang is reasonable." Lin Dongze was satisfied with the twisting of his beard, and he was not a veteran official who had served for ten years, and the atmosphere of stagnation in the room was relieved as soon as this remark came out.

"Lord Zhang, when you go to the barracks to invite Lord Zhao, you will say that this county can't bear to disturb Lord Zhao yesterday, let him rest as soon as possible, and set up a banquet at noon today to celebrate his achievements." Lin Dongze said.

Zhang Tao answered his promise and left.

Lin Dongze soon received a reply, and Zhao Lie said that the rear army could arrive today, and they would pick up the wind and wash the dust for Chang Daren at that time.

Lin Dongze heard that his heart was relieved, and Master Wang had arrived, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Chang Runing was well aware of the combat power of the beggars under his command, and Zhao Lie was in front to investigate, and he was maintaining a one-day journey with Zhao Lie. Never rush in.

It's just a sentinel to report urgently. When Zhao Lie's troops defeated thousands of incense smelling disciples and relieved the siege of Laiyang. Chang Runing was in a hurry, he knew that he had lost a great opportunity to make a contribution, so he hurriedly commanded the troops and rushed forward, so that the beggars and soldiers in various thousands of households were tired to death, and secretly scolded.

The battalion of soldiers, who were in their early 1,000s and hurried to the battlefield at noon today, saw the debris discarded on the ground and the blackened bloodstains left everywhere, all indicating that this place had just gone through a fierce battle, and a large number of bloodstains appeared from here for several miles, and there were even scattered corpses lying down.

Chang Runing regretted. I knew that the Wenxiang Sect was so poor, and I could also take the first credit by moving forward with Zhao Lie.

The thousands of households are also staggering, this Zhao Lie is really a bear's heart and leopard gall, hundreds of people dare to fight with thousands of chaotic people, judging from the intermittent blood stains for several miles, this kid's subordinate soldiers are probably also suffering heavy casualties.

When Chang Runing led everyone to the city, Zhao Lie, Lin Dongze and others had already come to the city to greet them, and Zhu Ying was sick in bed because he was busy in the field last night and suffered from the cold, so he couldn't go out to greet him.

Zhao Lie was originally a subordinate. It's what should be done, Lin Dongze is just a seven-rank official. For a five-grade rough man, he can still take care of it, when the other party is a third-grade general, he doesn't dare to slack off and hurry out of the city, even if he still thinks in his heart that the other party is just an older vulgar martial artist.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhao Lie stepped forward to report, "Commander, my subordinates led the soldiers of Zuo Qianhu to fight fiercely ten miles northeast at noon yesterday afternoon, and each of the subordinate soldiers bravely killed more than 730 Wenxiang Sect rebels, wounded more than 400 people, and captured more than 500 in total. The subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they are here to give orders to the adults. ”

"Zhao Qianhu is not chaotic in the face of the enemy, brave and resolute, defeating the rebellious people of the Wenxiang Sect, relieving the siege of Laiyang, showing the bravery of my Jinghai Guards. Now that the great merit of this situation is not to be talked about, if it were someone else, Chang Runing would definitely take advantage of it and take this credit.

Of course, when this person is Zhao Lie's domineering Yanei, he can't use it like this, but Zhao Lie is his subordinate after all, and he will definitely have a part of this credit, hundreds of thousands of people do greatly increase the prestige of the Jinghai Guards, who said that the guards are all wine bags and rice bags, and Chang Runing is also tolerant.

Therefore, at this time, Chang Daren is extremely pleasant.

"My lord has won the award, this is the life of the three subordinate armies, and Zhao Lie does not dare to monopolize it." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

Chang Runing smiled and asked the staff to go to the head of the inspection and seizure, or it was safe, and he would not report it if he didn't see the specific seizure.

"Zhao Qianhu, what are the casualties of the soldiers of Zuo Qianhu this time." Chang Runing asked with great concern.

"My lord, none of our soldiers were killed, but more than 100 people were slightly or seriously injured, and they were already unbearable to fight again." Zhao Lie's face was full of regret, as if it was really seriously damaged.

"Therefore, I had to give up chasing the enemy, and the chaotic people had to go away." He really didn't want to be stained with the blood of the Smelling Fragrance Sect anymore, the Smelling Fragrance Sect members were just villagers who were driven crazy by the drought and the government's tax collection last year, and whoever wanted to go was unwilling to go again.

"How is this so that the brothers of Zhao Qianhu and Zuo Qianhu are good at life in Laiyang, they are all heroes who fight for the country, they must take care of their injuries and fight for the country again." Chang Runing said very regretfully, but the intention to grab the merit was fully revealed,

"This general will lead the soldiers to continue to chase and kill the rebels, and the good news will be transmitted to the Beijing division as soon as possible." He saw that the Wenxiang Sect was weak and weak, and wanted to take advantage of its defeat and retreat to chase and kill and snatch the merits.

"My subordinates hereby congratulate you on your success, eradicate the rebellious people of the Smelling Fragrance Sect, and return me to Lai Lang Lang." After saying this, Zhao Lie almost vomited, the officialdom of Daming is really not a place for people to stay, secretly swords, swords, swords, and swords, talking and laughing on the surface, and the actors of later generations are just like that.

"How is this how to make it, now that the year is approaching, in order to relieve the siege of Laiyang, the adults ignore the cold of winter, the wind and dust, and do not avoid risks, how not to let the lower officials put wine and borrow the wind, and talk about the heart." Hearing that Commander Chang was about to go on the expedition, Lin Dongze was overjoyed.

He, a literati, naturally disdains martial artists and is unwilling to serve such vulgar people, but this is the practice in officialdom, others come to relieve the siege of Laiyang, and he has to be polite no matter what.

"This general is a general of the imperial court, he was ordered to recruit no ministers, now the traitor has not been destroyed, how dare he drink and have fun, Lord Lin is in favor of this general, this general is waiting for the year to sweep away the chaotic people, report to the court, and the general will be drunk with the adults." Chang Runing's righteous words are exactly what he looks like is a loyal minister who worries about the country and the people and cherishes the Son of Heaven.

"Lord Chang is really a cadre of the country, and the lower officials are very admired." Lin Dongze also complained, this veteran ruffian is eloquent, and he knows the three flavors of officialdom.

As for Zhao Lie, he was also drunk, only for the sake of giving gifts, at this time he was secretly determined, it seems that such a Ming civil and military official is unavailable, they are all old fritters in the officialdom, they are too fucking shameless, and the mouth is full of flowers, and it is first-class to push and take credit.
