There was a rumbling hoof behind him, it should be the rest of the cavalry team dispatched, but the chaotic crowd blocked their speed, Zhu Guobin chased in the open space on the left, took out the big arrow with his right hand, but never found a gap, the man crouched on the horseback and turned his head to look coldly, even if he was separated by more than 20 steps, Zhu Guobin could feel the viciousness in the gap of the crowd.

After the people on the official road fled to both sides, the man's horse speed became faster and faster, and he was already thirty steps away from Zhu Guobin, Zhu Guobin didn't dare to wait any longer, he didn't care about being injured by mistake, he stopped and took a deep breath, slowly pulled out the bow, made a slight estimate, suddenly released the bowstring, and the big arrow flew away with a swish, seeing that he was about to hit the man's mount, a refugee suddenly rushed out halfway, and the big arrow shot him through the cheek, causing him to fall to the right.

Zhu Guobin secretly complained, the man hurriedly looked ahead on horseback, the people on the road ran away, he was about to speed up the horse again, suddenly the clothes on his back tightened, and then a strong force pulled to the left, and he was caught off guard and was pulled off the horse.

The ground of his vest was painful, and before he could see the situation clearly, a short knife came at him in front of him, he subconsciously turned his face away, and the blade grazed his face and stabbed on the ground with a pop, and then a person pounced on him, pressing his cheek with one hand.

He was also a man of many battles, and the man who came on the ride had not yet adjusted, and his right elbow slammed to the left, and with the inertia of the man above, he knocked the man to the ground on the left side. He hurriedly flipped to the right, and with a force of his hands, he had already stood up, and then he drew his sword with his right hand and slashed at the man on the ground.

But the man was also very agile, and he rolled to his side and stood up, and it was the coachman who had quarreled with the owner, and after the man got up, he strode straight to the empty horse, and stabbed the horse with the tip of his knife in the horse, and the horse galloped forward like an electric shock, and then pounced again with a short knife in his hand.

At this time, the crowd had dispersed, and the people led by Nie Hong had already rushed ten steps away, and there was no horse, and the knight knew that he could not escape, so he drew a short cloud ladder knife from the right side with his left hand, The right hand is the sword, the ∈σ sword, the

The knight who fell off the horse at this time repented of his intestines, he was a soldier of the blue banner, yesterday they were ordered to send troops with the left and right wings of Mongolia, because they could speak Chinese, they were arranged by the chief military officer Unag to sentry Gu'an and Zhuozhou, in order to run away from the horse, he wore a cotton armor and set off, they rode more than 20 horses in the north of the city this morning to check the city, and the others went to the surrounding countryside to loot, but he changed his clothes and went around to the south of the city, he thought that there were too many people in the north of the city, and a person should have a better harvest in the south of the city, and then found a few people dressed in the post, Instinct told him that these people were probably also disguised Ming army sentry horses, so he didn't care about searching for property, mixed in with refugees and followed all the way, and found the Wendeng camp brigade, this army was obviously different from the Ming army he had seen before, only to see them sitting on the ground, also neat military appearance, and a kind of large bird gun he had never seen, the number of people was about 2,000 people, found such an army, will be praised for the ability of the sentinel, go back and can't run the military merit reward, and when Zhu Guobin found him, the surroundings were full of refugees, and the horse couldn't run at all, He took the risk of causing chaos, and saw that there was hope of escaping, but in the end, he was broken by a coachman.

The arm's hands, feet and head were tightly buckled, unable to move at all, and when a few people tied his hands and feet and pulled him up, Zhu Guobin tore off the cotton cloth he wrapped around his head, revealing a bare black top of his head, and his lips under his nose were opened, revealing a few pieces of yellow plate teeth that were worn and worn, his chin was smooth, there were more than a dozen mouse-like whiskers on his upper lip, and a thin money rat braid swayed back and forth on the back of his head. The surrounding refugees screamed as if they had seen a monster.

The coachman laughed and scolded, "What a Tartar, yes, yes." ”

Nie Hong came up and looked at it curiously, and said with a smile: "This is Jiannu, it turns out to be like this." He praised the strong man who hit the person: "Pu Zhuang did a good job, remember it first." ”

"Pu Zhuang deserves to be the second fierce general of my personal guard." Chen Xin's voice sounded behind him, and several people around hurriedly saluted, and the strong man named Pu Zhuang grinned, he looked rough and arrogant, and he was not modest for a few words.

Chen Xin arrived in front of the tartar, grabbed his pigtails and pulled his face up, the armor soldier looked at the Ming army around him, showing a frightened look, Chen Xin said in his mouth: "Great, you have to spend well." It turns out that the Tartars know how to be afraid. ”

A few people around didn't understand the meaning of consumption, but Lord Chen was definitely useful, waiting for him to arrange.

"Let all the instructors of the discipline team come and visit first. After the visit, Zhu Guobin was in charge of interrogating the intelligence, and the pro-guard team made two ruthless moves, no matter what kind of punishment was used, anyway, they had to ask about the military situation of the Tartars. ”

Nie Hong smiled and said, "Then I'll do it myself, my lord, can I kill him after the trial." ”

"I can't die, I still have to spend it after the interrogation."

Chen Xin then said to Zhu Guobi: "The Jiannu Sentinel has actually arrived near our army, and there are loopholes in the cavalry reconnaissance. ”

Zhu Guobin responded with a ashamed face, and immediately went to arrange cavalry reconnaissance before the visit began.

A few guards recovered the empty horse, took off the blanket on it, and put it on the ground with the things on the tartar to clean up, a military judge was supervising, and Dong Yu sent a quartermaster to make a book, with a lot of gold and silver, and some blood-stained women's jewelry.

As they were counting, Chief Instructor Huang Side arrived with a group of instructors.

Huang Side saw that Chen Xinxin had blood stains on his hands, and then looked at the face of the Tartar, he hurried over in three steps and two steps, took out a white cloth handkerchief, and was about to come up and wipe it, and said in his mouth: "This, this is really, the Lord told me to wait, why bother to do it yourself, this Tartar blood can't be poisonous or something, how can it be good to hurt the adult." After that, he kicked the armor soldier twice, and said fiercely: "You dog Tartar, don't say anything evil, and you will dirty my lord's hands." ”

Chen Xin smiled and waved his hand, wiped the handkerchief twice, and asked Huang Side: "When I shouted that the Tartars were coming, the army would have an impact. ”

"My lord's knowledge began to fluctuate slightly, but in the blink of an eye, the army was cleaned up, thanks to the adult's training, and he treated the soldiers like children."

Chen Xindao: "Since there are slight fluctuations, or everyone is afraid of the Tartars, since the East Affairs, I Ming won less and lost more than the East Slaves, everyone heard the word Tartar, just as everyone saw, a Tartar scared thousands of wolves to rush to the pig, pitiful and lamentable, as a trainer, now is a good opportunity, a groom captured a Tartar, how do you think you should preach to the sergeants? You don't have to raise your hand, just say it when you think about it. ”

Nie Hong next to him was a little puzzled when he heard Chen Xin say that he was captured by the groom, but when he saw Chen Xin's serious appearance, he couldn't help but speak.

A trainer said: "I should tell the soldiers, this tartar is not terrible, it is not three heads and six arms, it can be caught alive, and it can be killed." ”

Chen Xin nodded: "This is good, everyone should write it down." ”

"Even a horseman can be killed, and so can my Weihai soldiers."

"This one will work too."

"You should let the soldiers see this tartar familiarly, and they won't be afraid when they encounter it in the future."

Chen Xin raised his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke, it was Zhao Xuan, who was an apprentice with the team.

"Very good."

Zhao Xuan finally got the praise and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.

Chen Xin approvingly: "Starting from the soldier's standpoint and focusing on the small is exactly what a qualified trainer should do. ”

Huang Side said respectfully to Chen Xin: "Zhao Xuan has been in our army since he joined the army, and his appearance on the road is good. ”

"Zhao Xuan, do a good job, and do more things for the chief instructor in the future"

Zhao Xuan hurriedly agreed and replied: "It is a humble duty to share worries for adults. ”

Chen Xin turned to the other instructors: "Do you have any other opinions?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Xuan was praised by the adults, everyone was envious in their hearts, and they wanted to take the opportunity to earn more money, so they immediately discussed it.

After these trainers finished reading, Nie Hong and Pu Zhuang picked up the tartar, and Zhu Guobin and several guards took the man to a private house for torture, and after a while, there was a terrible howl.

Half an hour later, Zhu Guobin came out, Nie Hong was a few steps behind, and wiped the blood on his hands with a rag as he walked.

Zhu Guobin came over and said: "My lord, that Jiannu has been recruited, Jiannu went to Nanhaizi on the 25th to set up camp, and the day before yesterday advanced to between Yongdingmen and Zuo'anmen, and the surrounding area has been looted by them. ”

Liu Pojun marked on the map, and Chen Xin asked Zhu Guobin, "How did he come to Gu'an?" ”

"When the Nu chief heard that there was a convoy transporting Hongyi cannons that was about to arrive in Beijing, he planned to send the left and right flanks of the Mongols to intercept them (Note 1). Equipped with a blue flag armor to monitor, and transferred some white armor soldiers, the blue flag sent about four or five hundred troops, more than 1,000 Mongolian left and right wings, as well as Ao Han and Horqin some tribesmen, led by the Tartar chief officer Unag, but he couldn't figure out how many people he caught, he estimated that it was less than 3,000 people. ”

The general system of the Houjin tribe was already chaotic, and it was reasonable for the Tartar soldiers to not know the number of people, Lu Chuanzong asked worriedly: "Did they stop it?" The Red Cannon is no joke. ”

"No, the brigade only came out of Nanhaizi yesterday, and did not go straight to Gu'an, but marched between Zhuozhou and Gu'an, the captured Tartars came out to sentry, and did not find Hongyi artillery here, after they circled Gu'an for a week, the leading sentry Baijia thought that Gu'an could be captured, and the brigade had a great chance of coming."

Chen Xin slapped his palm on the map and said to several officers around him: "Three thousand people, let's do it with them." Tomorrow to the north of Gu'an City to begin the deployment, all the cavalry must go out to sentry, not to allow the Tartars to come to the side. How did you interrogate that tartar? ”

"Alive."

"Let the ambulance treat his wounds, I will keep him to continue to spend"

On the official road, the Wendeng camp began to advance, and Zhou Shao'er followed his mandarin duck formation to walk and watch, and the ground was full of luggage and bedding dropped by the refugees, and it was a mess. When shouting "Tartar is coming" everywhere just now, there was a slight panic in the team, and Zhou Shao'er was also a little nervous.

A wooden stake was erected on a carriage on the side of the official road in front, and a tartar was hung on it, and several guards stood under the stake, and when they walked to the side of the carriage, the unique voice of the general man came out: "All are determined!" ”

After the whole division was established, he turned to the direction of the column leader, and the chief training officer Huang Side stood in the front row, pulled his broken gong throat and howled, Zhou Shao'er thought that their broken gong voice was caused by talking too loudly.

Huang Side pulled back the braid of the Tartar, let him raise his face and shake it twice, "I always say that we want to kill the Tartar, no one has ever seen what the Tartar looks like, some people say that the Tartars are all bull heads and horse noodles, the eyes are as big as a bowl, one person can beat a hundred Han people, bullshit, let everyone see it today, this thing hanging on it is a Tartar, see it, no hair, drag a pig's tail behind, ugly or not." The instructor said as he pulled the Tartar's foot in a circle so that everyone could see the braid.

"This bad breed also killed an innocent woman before he was caught, how did he get caught, he was stopped by the groom brother in front, this groom brother can't do anything, he just dares to work hard, what about the tartar, it's not the same to die. My Wendeng camp is a good man, eat and drink well every month, and the monthly salary has never been less, why, let's kill the Tartars, don't even compare to an untrained groom brother, that's still a fart hero, go back and you still have your wife's bed. ”

The trainer's saliva splashed, Zhou Shao'er looked at the tartar carefully, his face was cut one by one, there were many small wounds on his body, and there were blood stains everywhere, but they were all coarsely bandaged, except for the braid, the others were similar to himself, and he didn't see the five big and three thick three heads and six arms, since the groom could catch it, he would definitely be able to kill him, it seemed that the tartar was just such a thing, and he was afraid of it before.

Huang Side continued to howl: "There are still people who think in their hearts, our Wendeng is still far away, if we can't beat it, we will run back to Shandong, I tell you, don't say that you can run away, then the Wendeng camp is not far at all, today we don't block the Tartars, these Tartars will come to Shandong, to Wendeng, to Weihaiwei, where do you run, they don't come this year, they will come next year, rob your food, rob your land, rob your silver, rob your sisters, wives and daughters, kill your old father, Just like these fleeing people today, in the end, you will be arrested and given to them as slaves, and your sons and daughters will be slaves for their children and grandchildren, and that's not all......"

The trainer said that it was too long in one breath, and he stopped to take a breath, several soldiers were already so angry that their faces were red, if it weren't for the military discipline constraints, they would have scolded out a long time ago, Zhou Shao'er was also angry, this Tartar is too hateful, now it's easy for Lord Chen to give everyone a good life, why does he have to rob everything as soon as he comes, and he actually wants his children and grandchildren to be slaves.

"This is not the end, what are they going to do, they are going to force you to shave your head, and keep a pig's tail behind your back like them, and you can only wear their tartar clothes, and when you die and see your ancestors, your ancestors will ask you who you are, and who has descendants who keep this pig's tail and wear tartar clothes. There is also the face to go to see the ancestors. ”

Huang Side slapped his face a few times: "No, then what are we going to do, how can they not come to rob things, there is only one, kill him!" If you fight a war, you will die, but even if you die in battle, you will always save the life of your father and daughter-in-law, and your children and grandchildren will not be slaves, and you will see your ancestors when you die. Besides, with Lord Chen taking care of your family, a pension, and a fixed pension every year, what are you afraid of, if you are afraid of this child, you will be afraid of the Tartar that this child can kill, that is, it is not even as good as a pig and dog. There are two paths, one is to be a slave who has no seed and no face, and the other is to give up this life, kill the Tartars with the adults, follow the adults to seek a good future, and get rich and rich, which path do you say to choose? ! ”

"Kill the fucking Tartar!!" "Kill the Tartars" "Follow the adults to kill the Tartars" The soldiers of the Wendeng battalion shouted angrily, no one would want their happy life to be taken away, now they all have monthly salaries, some people's families work in Weihai, some tunhu households have divided the fields, children can be literate, and even some wives and sisters can also work in the factory, earning a lot, seeing that the life is higher than the surrounding military households and civilian households, why should this Tartar be taken away. The country and the nation or something, everyone doesn't understand, but whoever wants to rob our family's things must play with him, and besides, this Tartar is not unkillable, just this virtue has to rob our Wenden camp.

If you really want to be like what the instructor said, as soon as the Tartars come, everyone has no way to live, Lord Chen promised a pension for the dead in battle, if you become a deserter, you will still be beheaded in the end, not to mention, the pension is gone, these two ends are blocked, and everyone actually has no other choice. Although they are all ordinary military households, they are not fools, and the instructor also explained these truths clearly on the way here, and the military discipline is also memorized, and no one has the intention of running away.

After Huang Side finished speaking, Chen Xin smiled at him and said: "The mobilization is good, there is nothing false, you can understand it, and the main points just summarized have been said." ”

Huang Side hurriedly responded: "Yes, it is also a method taught by the adult, first in the training team, and then with a team, a flag team, and slowly practiced." ”

Chen Xin smiled and said: "Huang Side, you have done a good job, now the soldiers generally agree with the training officer, it is all your own efforts, after this battle, I am ready to add some heavy responsibilities to you, and you will have to work harder in the future." ”

When Huang Side heard this, he knew that Chen Xin wanted to increase the power of the instructor, and he was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "What is the hard work to share the worries of adults. ”

Huang Side was happy in his heart, he looked at the Tartar soldier, and said to Chen Xin: "My lord, this Tartar is useless, kill it, right?" ”

"No, it's still going to be consumed."

Note 1: "Manchu Old Files": December file of the third year of Tiancong: "First, send Mongolian soldiers with two banners to intercept the Ming artillery. As a result, he sent people to play the Khan, captured Gu'an County, and annihilated his soldiers. According to the records of the Ming Dynasty at the same time, it is guessed that Huang Taiji intercepted the second batch of mercenaries of the Portuguese, they were recruited by Li Fengjie, the governor of Liangguang in Macao, a total of 31 people, the leader was the Xilao of Gongsha, who later became very famous, and transported 7 iron Hongyi cannons and 3 copper Hongyi cannons to Beijing, and at this time just walked to Zhuozhou on the west side of Gu'an. These people were the firearms instructors who later trained Sun Yuanhua in Dengzhou. It should be that Huang Taiji intercepted the documents or Tangma of the Ming army, so he sent troops to intercept these high-tech weapons.
