"What? Daning has fallen? ”
Yue Yang's raised right hand froze in mid-air, with a look of shock on his face, and then he asked urgently, "Did you do it by Yan Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong?" ”
This family Ding showed a look of surprise and admiration: "It turns out that the young master has long known that it was Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong who did it, and now these rogues are storming Xizhou and Zezhou, and our Yingzhou city has also become a mess, and now the prefect Zheng is going around to rescue the troops." ”
"Huh...... Why are you talking in such a tone? Yue Yang looked at the gloating look on this family's face, and asked in confusion.
"Hmph, you deserve it! Who let that Zheng Zhifu and the Wang family change their laws to bully our Yuejiazhuang, now it's their turn to be anxious. The last time Yueyang went to Yingzhou Mansion and was pressured by the Zheng Governor's Mansion and the Wang family, the Lin family, and the Li family to open the Sanggan River and let the three of them take water in the Sanggan River, which made the children of Yuejiazhuang and even Wulizhai hold their breath up and down, and when this family Ding heard that Zheng Dakui was looking for helpers everywhere, he couldn't help but have a kind of schadenfreude in his heart.
Seeing the gloating smile on this family's face, Yue Yang felt a wave of worry in his heart, Daning is only five or six hundred miles away from Yingzhou Capital, if Gao Yingxiang's gang of rogues comes to Yingzhou, he doesn't know if Yingzhou City can keep him, but Wuli Village, which is only dozens of miles away from Yingzhou City and does not have any city wall protection, will definitely not end well, and if it is not done, the entire Wuli Village will become a ruin.
Yue Yang was silently thinking about his thoughts on the stage, and the hundreds of soldiers in the audience were still standing in the local area because they had not received orders, after more than two months of strict and cruel training, Yue Yang had firmly instilled the concept of obeying orders into their bodies, and now the entire school field showed a strange quiet.
Slowly turning his gaze to the school field, the corners of Yue Yang's mouth moved, and he suddenly shouted loudly: "Why are you all cold, let's hold confrontation training next!" Everyone is divided into two groups, put masks, and the real confrontation begins! ”
"Whoa!"
With Yue Yang's order, more than 400 soldiers skillfully divided into two groups, they either raised their spears, or raised their swords and shields, and they all let out a scream and walked forward with neat steps.
"Raise your gun!"
"Heh......"
"Thrust!"
"Heh......"
"Bang ......"
As the two sides came into contact, a crisp and slightly dull metal crash sounded on the school field, and hundreds of soldiers began to fight on the playground, and for a while, the sound of fighting on the playground rang out......
At the same time, in the yamen of the prefect of Yingzhou City, Zheng Kui, who was wearing a crimson official robe, was walking around the inner hall with his hands behind his back, and his thin face was full of uneasiness. Beside him, a dusty young servant dressed in black stood with his hands down.
Suddenly, Zheng Kui stopped and turned his head and asked, "Lu Bantou, what did Lu Qianhu say, did he promise to send troops?" ”
The team leader surnamed Lu replied respectfully: "Lord Qiyu, Lu Qianhu said that their guard is subordinate to the commander of Datong Mansion, and they dare not send troops without the order of General Yang of Datong Mansion or the Ministry of War, otherwise he can't afford to be coaxed." ”
Zheng Kui was furious: "Bastard, this Lu Youxiang, when he asks for food and salary from this mansion on weekdays, he can't wait to kneel down and lick the boots of this mansion, and today he even picks it up, isn't he afraid that this mansion will settle accounts with him in the future?" ”
Looking at Zheng Kui's angry look, Lu Bantou said helplessly: "My lord, please forgive the villain, although Lord Lu is a thousand households in the guard, but now you also know the erosion of the guard, and the current guard is no longer the courage of Taizu when he founded the country, if you let those guards plant the land, they are all good hands, but if you let them fight, I am afraid they are not as good as the green-skinned gangsters in Yingzhou City." ”
Zheng Kui held back his anger and sighed: "Then what do you let this mansion do?" At present, there are less than 500 available soldiers in Yingzhou City, and even if you add the prefect's yamen, there are only more than 600 people in total. Even if Lu Youxiang's guards are bad, they can always be used to move stones and rolling wood, but the government didn't expect this Lu Youxiang to be so greedy for life and afraid of death, and he didn't even dare to step out of the gate of the guard, which was really disappointing to the house. Now I can only resign myself to fate, if those rogues come to attack, this mansion will live and die with Yingzhou City. ”
"Your Excellency!" Seeing Zheng Kui so decadent, Lu Bantou couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but he had no way to comfort him, so he could only stand aside silently.
Suddenly, Lu Bantou suddenly remembered something, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, we still have reinforcements, aren't there still many gentry in Yingzhou City?" Which of them doesn't have a family guard of one or two hundred, especially the Lin family, their mine has gathered more than a thousand brave mine guards, as long as they can agree to send people over, we can at least have one or two thousand more soldiers! ”
"Well, is that okay?" Zheng Kui's heart moved, and he lowered his head and thought about the feasibility of the matter.
Seeing that Zheng Kui was still a little hesitant in his heart, Lu Bantou added another fire and said: "My lord, no matter whether things can be done or not, but at least one or two thousand more city protectors are good, and now no one knows if the Liukou will hit Yingzhou City, it is better for us to be able to take precautions than not to be prepared in the slightest." ”
"Well, that makes sense." Zheng Kui glanced at Lu Ban with some surprise and praised; "Even you, the head of the team, know the truth of planning for a rainy day, how can this government lag behind you. Okay, you immediately take the post of this mansion, go to the Wang family, the Lin family and the Li family, and ask them to immediately send their families to help the government defend the city, and you also tell other major families that if you can defend Yingzhou City this time, after the Liukou retreats, the government will definitely ask the court for them to take credit! ”
"Yes!"
Lu Bantou knelt down on one knee towards Zheng Kui, and after a salute, he immediately went out.
Under the terrifying pressure of the rogue, all the gentry in Yingzhou City immediately began to act. Although they each have their own contradictions on weekdays, but they all understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, in less than a day, they are either dozens, or a hundred or hundreds, have sent most of their own families to protect the courtyard, and the next day, Zheng Kui unexpectedly found that he had more than 1,500 men and horses in his hands, plus the original soldiers of Yingzhou City, he already had more than 2,000 troops in his hands, although such a force is not a lot, but it should still be possible to defend the city.
On August 26, the fifth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong, and Luo Rucai led a total of 50,000 Liukou soldiers to capture Xizhou, Zezhou, and Shouyang Zhuzhou counties in four ways. On the 14th, Li Zicheng, a general under the command of Yingxiang, captured Xiuwu County, killed Liu Fengxiang of Zhixian County, after the news reached Chongzhen's ears, Chongzhen was furious, he immediately ordered to reprimand Zhang Zongheng, and ordered him to immediately mobilize troops to encircle and suppress this Liukou, Zhang Zongheng did not dare to slack off after receiving the order, and gave an order to Yang Dazhu, the general soldier of Xuanzhen, ordering him to send no less than 5,000 elite soldiers to Xiuwu County to encircle and suppress Liukou.
On August 30, the army of 6,000 Xuanzhen Prefecture rushed to Xiuwu County, and Li Zicheng led more than 10,000 Liukou to meet, as soon as the two sides came into contact, the Liukou collapsed, Li Zicheng had to abandon his army with his nephew Li Guo and hundreds of remnants to flee to Shouyang and Yingxiang Huihe, Yang Dazhu was waving the army in the back and chasing closely.
On the third day of September, Li Zicheng finally fled to Shouyang to meet Gao Yingxiang, and both sides were a little embarrassed when they met.
"Godfather, the child is ashamed, this time he was defeated by those officers and soldiers again." After seeing Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng knelt down for Yan Yingxiang and shamefully pleaded guilty to his father-in-law.
For this godson Gao Yingxiang is very important, because Li Zicheng is bold and righteous, but he is decisive in killing, so he is also Gao Yingxiang as a focus to cultivate, but since he is the leader of the righteous army, Li Zicheng lost the battle on this trip, he naturally has to make a statement, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public, just when Yan Yingxiang was about to speak, a twenty-four or five-year-old woman wearing blue clothes with thick eyebrows and big eyes came out on the side, and said first: "Daddy, although Brother Li lost the battle, it is also excusable, After all, he is facing the elite of Minggou's border army, and whoever encounters this kind of thing will also lose the battle, so you can't be too harsh on Brother Li. ”
The woman who suddenly appeared was named Gao Guiying, and she was the biological daughter of Yan Yingxiang, who also loved this baby daughter very much on weekdays, and laughed and joked after hearing this, "Xiuying, is your father old and confused, naturally he will not punish you for this incident, but my father wondered, you protect your brother Li so much, aren't you afraid that your father will be jealous?" ”
"Daddy......"
Hearing Gao Yingxiang make fun of himself like this, Gao Guiying suddenly blushed, and suddenly became a little shy, and Li Zicheng was also a little embarrassed below. In fact, everyone knows about her and Li Zicheng's friendship, but no one says it on weekdays, but now Gao Yingxiang said it all at once, which made her a little shy.
"Alright, now it's time to get down to business." Yan Yingxiang's face was straight, and he said to Zhang Xianzhong on the side; "Eight kings, now that the elite of the Ming army has arrived, we naturally can't fight hard with them, we have to change directions, you Ming'er immediately led the troops to Yingzhou, and strive to capture Yingzhou as soon as possible, let's let the court see, our righteous army is not so easy to exterminate."
"Great!"
Zhang Xianzhong smiled fiercely and grinned: "Don't worry, King Chuang, I will definitely give those Ming dogs a good look, and I will definitely beat him down in Yingzhou City!" Just wait for my good news! ”
