Maybe it's noon, the sun is a little stronger, and it can bring a lot of warmth in this cold winter; Or maybe there has been more food than usual in the past few days, and many Ming soldiers have gone to Ningyuan City to lie down on their corpses. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a rare day when there was no cold wind howling, and the Ming soldiers were basking in the sun, or drowsy, or chatting without stubble. For the future, no one has hope, just to be able to mix day by day. The consumption of food alone is estimated to bottom out within half a month, and almost everyone knows this.

Two Ming soldiers were chatting, and the companion who was lying next to them and didn't speak suddenly sat up, and said in surprise: "Another cavalry is coming, it seems to be from Liaodong." ”

"What's the matter, it's not just that Jianyu is showing off his power back and forth!" One of the soldiers replied casually without much interest.

It's no wonder that he replied like this, since Shanhaiguan was occupied by Jianguo, all the cavalry troops passing outside the city were Jianguo. Although they did not attack the city, they would be in high spirits every time they passed, showing off their might to the Ming soldiers in the city.

Another companion also casually replied: "Let's lie down honestly, what's so strange, it can't be that Wang Shi crossed the sea to come, right?" ”

After saying it as if self-deprecatingly, the two chatting continued the topic just now. And the first Ming soldier also sighed slightly, and slowly fell down to raise his body.

Either he was bored, or he was full of curiosity, and when he heard the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, and felt that he could already see the cavalry outside the city, he slowly stood up again, and looked out of the city as if he were watching a play.

There were not many people in the whole city like him. More people have become numb, what to do.

After a while, the Ming sergeant who was on the lookout suddenly turned his head to look at his companion, and said with a little surprise in his tone: "Come and see, we can see that these Jianyu always feel that something is wrong, come and see?" ”

Those who have been in the army for a long time know that it is more than 100 horsemen passing by when they hear the voice. A cavalry army of this size, capable of marching in broad daylight, is undoubtedly a captive. However, the man's companion was urged by him several times, so he had no choice but to stand up and look out.

At this time, the more than 100 riders just passed by them, and the distance was the shortest. As soon as they saw it, they felt that their companion seemed to have a point, and it was indeed different from the previous Jianyu.

Although the military uniforms, hair accessories, horses and weapons are the same as those of Jianyu, these cavalry soldiers seem to lack the arrogance of showing off their martial arts, although a few of them are looking at Ningyuan City while walking, but most of them are in a line of marching troops on the road.

These Jianyu seem to be more confident, more energetic, all of them are athletic, skilled in riding, and definitely an elite cavalry. Moreover, one person and two horses, and some spare horses still carried large cloth bags and hung on the horse's back.

As this cavalry army went away, the topic of the Ming army at the head of the city began to shift to the Jianyu cavalry army that had just passed, and they were curiously guessing about this different cavalry army. Even their commander, He Kegang, was wondering in the arrow tower.

The day before yesterday, it was clear that the Jianyu army was returning east in a hurry, and according to their speed estimates, they should not have returned to Shengjing yet, so why did the elite cavalry rush back to Shanhaiguan in a hurry? He Kegang couldn't figure out what was going on over there, and he couldn't convince himself of several reasons in a row.

At last he lay back helplessly, and said to himself fiercely: "It would be best if the Jianyu soldiers passed through exhausted, so that they could go out of the city to kill him and grab something to eat." ”

But then he remembered the march of the cavalry just now, and it was obvious that he was also ready to fight at any time during the march. It's really worthy of the elite of Jianyu!

Thinking of this, He Kegang finally realized that something was wrong. Regardless of whether this Jianyu cavalry army is far away from Ningyuan City or not, it is always in this kind of marching posture, could it be that they are not defending Ningyuan, but others?

But if it's against others, who will it be? He Kegang's mind was confused again, and it wasn't until an hour later that his doubts were answered.

The rumbling sound of horses' hooves sounded again, and this time there were about three or four thousand cavalry. What's more critical is that this cavalry army is not Jianyu's cavalry.

You can tell from the flag and military uniform from afar, this is definitely not a captured army. All of a sudden, Ningyuan City was in a sensation, and as the noise became louder and louder, even the Ming soldiers who were lying in the city rushed to the city to find out what was going on.

For them, it is normal for the army to be built outside the city. The sudden appearance of a non-Jianjian army means that the situation has changed greatly, and it is not possible for you to survive in a desperate situation!

It's just a pity that this cavalry army is not the banner of the Ming army. The military uniform is strange and has never been seen before. With such a large number of people, it is really a luxury to have one person and two horses.

Closer, the literate people on the head of Ningyuan City finally hesitated to read out a few big characters on the biggest banner, "called the Heavenly Army".

"It's called the Heavenly Army, have any of you ever heard of it called the Heavenly Army?"

"No, it's such a strange name, I'm sure I've never heard of it!"

“……”

Most of the Ming soldiers were at a loss, not knowing where this army belonged to the sacred? However, their commander He Kegang was different, and when he saw that it was called the Heavenly Army, he was immediately surprised!

The rebels in the Hetao Plain called the Heavenly Army actually appeared in Liaodong, what happened to this? He Kegang thought in his heart, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately connected the hurried eastward return of the Jianyu army with the previous Jianlu's hurried westward departure, and suddenly guessed a possibility in his heart.

But this possibility is also so incredible for He Kegang. If his hypothesis is true, it means that the Heavenly Army suddenly appeared in the hinterland of Liaodong, so that the Jianjiao in Shanhaiguan had to return to help, and then was ambushed halfway and the whole army was annihilated. The more than 100 cavalry elites before were asked to pretend to be the Heavenly Army, and they went to steal Shanhaiguan!

If what Jianyu said before is true, if the Ming Jingshi is occupied, there will inevitably be a lot of troops, and Liaodong will inevitably be empty; If the Heavenly Army succeeds in attacking Shanhaiguan, cut off the connection between Liaodong and Guannei; Then, the entire Liaodong will be called the Heavenly Army, so that Jianyu is afraid that he will pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon, and lose his own fundamental land!

Thinking of this, imagining that Huang Taiji, who had dealt with him for many years, knew that Shanhaiguan was occupied and Liaodong no longer belonged to Jianyu, he must have been annoyed and angry but helpless, He Kegang suddenly felt extremely happy, and couldn't help laughing.

The Ming soldiers near the arrow tower heard the laughter of the handsome man who had not been heard for a long time, and they were a little stunned for a while. I don't know why the appearance of the Heavenly Army makes Dashuai so happy?

Work harder and take it down before the Jingshi Jianyu returns to Fangshan Pass! He Kegang thought about the key to this matter, and secretly asked the Heavenly Army to worry about it! (To be continued.) )
