Chapter 167: Entering the Army

readx;

The sky had begun to turn blue, and the soldiers outside were a little tired of scolding. Yuan Dashuai and Zhu Zheng, www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, also rushed to the camp gate, and after asking about the situation, the two of them understood in their hearts that last night to this day was a set given by others. But why this is not known.

This surnamed Wen is also yes, and he is messing around with these prison guards. Yuan Conghuan asked them to ask Wen Jun to come out and answer. General Wen put on his helmet crookedly, rode a horse and walked with a few retinues to a place about ten feet away from the gate of the camp and stood there. said to Yuan Conghuan inside the camp gate: "Governor Yuan Conghuan, what are you recruiting?"

"General Wen, this governor asks you, this time you have transferred troops to surround the militia camp without authorization. What's going on?"

"Yuan Conghuan, you don't buckle the big hat for the general there, what is the unauthorized transfer of troops. I have been ordered to send troops to destroy the rebels. General Ben respects you and calls you Governor Yuan. It is hoped that Governor Yuan will quickly draw a line with such rebels. Before the hour of today, the militia was ordered to lay down their arms and wait for the dispatch of the king's army. Otherwise, a great war will begin. Everything becomes a rice meter. By the way, as for the king's army, you rebels should hand it over! If you don't pay it when the time comes, attack it immediately. After the surname Wen finished speaking, he retreated and left. Walked to the back of the military formation.

After saying this, Yuan Conghuan trembled with anger. The militia members were also in an uproar. Zhu Zheng looked at Wenhua who was moving away with an iron face.

Shen Mo is a sober person. He said to the big bull: "Quickly go to the back camp and find those eunuchs and escort him over." Just go. Put the baggage team of the rear battalion on guard. ”

Da Niu hurriedly took his entourage to the back camp to find those eunuchs. Yuan Conghuan looked at the military array that had been set up outside. said to the people next to him, "I can't be good this time." Wang Zhen and Wenjun just wanted to swallow the militia. to achieve their ulterior motives. ”

Zhu Zheng nodded and said to Zhu Yi: "If they do it." Beat me to death. I'm responsible for everything that happens. ”

Zhu Yi nodded at Shen Mo. Shen Mo turned around and went to arrange. Yuan Conghuan watched Shen Mo and Zhu Yi mobilize troops there to prepare for battle. Looking at the imperial army outside and preparing to attack, he walked into the big tent in discouragement. Keep your head down and don't say a word. Zhu Zheng also followed Yuan Conghuan into the big tent. Seeing Yuan Conghuan like this, Zhu Zheng was not very comfortable in his heart, the imperial court crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and the nature of unloading the mill and killing the donkey was now exposed. Although Yuan Conghuan was given many positions, he was the governor of Lu and Anhui provinces, a cabinet scholar, and a prince Shaobao. But what's the use. The military power has been deprived, the Pingbei Army has also disappeared, and the generalissimo who could mobilize more than 100,000 men and horses to give the sword is gone. All that remains is to compensate for those few vain. Although as the governor of the two provinces of Lu and Anhui, the governor of the military affairs of the two provinces. But there was not a single soldier under his command except the Governor's Guard. Which of the self-respecting generals below will obey the dispatch. Without military power, everything is lost. Can't you see the person surnamed Wen calling him by his first name there? If Yuan Conghuan is still the generalissimo of the Pingbei Army and controls all the troops. Just by virtue of General Wen calling Yuan Conghuan's name just now, he can be convicted of the following crimes and contempt for Shangguan. But now, hey, it's easy to call it by its name. Even if you are scolded, you can only stare dryly. Of course, you can also co-charge him with the same crime as he just did. But you dare not catch it. They are all men with soldiers. When the time comes, it will be troublesome to bite you and say that you force them to rebel. After all, this is not in the south of the Yangtze River, this is the front line of the Yellow River. When the time comes, the leaders of this gang will fall in anger, and the slave clan will be in trouble. At that time, in order to appease the anger of these military leaders, it is conceivable who the imperial court will take to open the knife.

Zhu Zheng thought for a while, glanced at Yuan Conghuan with a sad face and said: "Uncle, there is no way to do this, since they are willing to fight, let's accompany the fight! It's not me Zhu Zheng who said that every time the court pays silver, they don't have their share. We keep saying that we are a militia group, and the imperial court is not responsible for food and wages. It's all paid by my brother, and I talked to you about it at the time. You put this down with the big picture in mind. But now, these white-eyed wolves are rebelling against the people. When the militia seized the dock of the Yellow River and charged into battle, the iron cavalry of the slave tribe did not rush to the front once. Now that the battle is over, are you going to unload the mill and kill the donkey?"

Zhu Zheng wanted to continue, but Yuan Conghuan waved his hand to signal Zhu Zheng not to continue. said to Zhu Zheng: "Since your third brother is going to transfer the troops back, transfer them back." Leaving 4,000 to transfer to the Jeseong garrison camp. Zhu Yi should not go to Lingshanwei to take office. I personally wrote to the Holy One about this. I may soon be back in Beijing to resume my duties. The defense of Jeseong will be handed over to you. Remember, if the slave tribe invades at that time, you will have to fight against the slave tribe on the Yellow River with all your might. I really can't hold it, as long as I hold Jicheng. Luo Chengyong, the defender of Laizhou, and Qin Jieqing, the defender of Qingzhou, are credible and loyal to the imperial court. Call for help when necessary. Don't ask for help. Otherwise, Jeseong will only lose faster. ”

The sound of war drums could be heard in the distance, and this was the beginning of a battle between the two armies. Yuan Conghuan felt very tired, from the day those people read the holy decree. You'll know why. This is because the court sees that it has self-respect for its own troops and feels insecure. and relieved himself of his military powers. But who can understand his own heart! Hey, he will return to the court and resume his post in the middle of the month. I don't know what the situation will be. Zhu Zheng listened to Yuan Conghuan's words. looked at Yuan Conghuan, who was deep in thought. Without bothering, he slowly retreated.

Da Niu searched for a long time in the back camp but did not find Wang Zhen. Da Niu was anxious, and asked the soldiers on duty, saying that he had not seen those eunuchs come to the back camp. Da Niu had no choice but to go back to his life. The drums over there were already rushing. Da Niu found the captain of the baggage team in charge of the rear camp and gave him some advice. With a few retinues, he hurried to the front camp. When he first arrived at the location of the school yard of the former camp, a tent near the front camp suddenly burst into flames. The tent was the tent where the military doctor lived. When the bull saw that he turned his horse's head, he rushed to the burning tent with his guards. This is clearly arson. When they were about to arrive at the place, several eunuchs hurriedly ran towards this side. Now it's okay, Da Niu captured a few people. Wang Zhen struggled for a while, but he didn't dare to say anything to the big cow. Just kidding, last night it was the big bull who tied him to the pillar and smoked him without hesitation. This kind of reckless man, it's useless for you to threaten him. If you're in a hurry, I'll give you a knife and kill you directly. The rear camp also saw the change here, and hurriedly sent people over to extinguish the fire. The tent burned down quickly. And did not cause a fire. After the matter behind the big bull was handed over to the baggage team, he hurriedly escorted Wang Zhen and a few eunuchs to the gate of the camp. The careless bull didn't count, and there was one less of these eunuchs. The captain of the baggage squad cleared the tent that was still smoking and found an unrecognizable corpse inside. But looking at the boots that are not burned through, they are not their own people. The equipment of the militia is standard. The boots on the feet are imitations of the military boots of the previous life, the upper is leather, and the waist is thick cotton. The bottom is a mille-feuille bottom that is glued and sewn with special glue. There are also lace-ups on the uppers. But these boots don't look like they're your own. This is clearly a pair of official boots. The captain of the baggage team frowned. The deceased was carefully examined. Although it looks like it was burned to death. But the wound on his neck was still 'gurgling' and bleeding. It looks like he was killed by a few eunuchs. The captain of the baggage team arranged for a few people to bury the deceased, and after cleaning up the place where the fire was burned, he turned around and returned to the back camp after asking the members on duty about the general situation. Not long after, two pigeons were released in the camp of the back camp.

The former camp camp gate, the current form is tense, and the court soldiers on the opposite side are holding bows and arrows, waiting for Wen Jun's order. began to attack. The militia on this side did not show weakness, and carried out all the newly arrived small cannons, and also waited for an order to ignite them. Wen Jun looked at the sun that had just emerged in the sky. He said, "The time has come." Attack, pacify the people. "The flag officer below, the big flag waved, and the war drums of 'dong dong' sounded. and the sound of the war drums of the militia complement each other. Here, Zhu Yi saw the imperial army on the opposite side 'shouting, shouting' in a military formation and attacking with steps. Commanded to the herald next to him, "Blow the trumpet." Let's fight!"

The herald picked up a brass horn and blew it. The sound of the trumpet is so obvious in the sound of the drums. When the militia heard the sound, they moved nervously. The formation change began. The crossbowmen quickly retreated from one row to three rows, and the sword and shield men set up their shields behind the wall, and between every two horizontal rows of sword and shield soldiers were three musketeers in a vertical row, followed by pikemen in armor and armor. Finally, there are three rows of strong crossbowmen.

The regimental members standing on the walled tower held binoculars and watched as the imperial army walked into the range of crossbows and muskets. He said to the members in the back, "It's in range." Without saying a word, the members of the group in the back picked up a red flag and waved it three times.

Zhu Yi and Shen Mo were also holding binoculars to look at the imperial army opposite. The herald next to him saw the chess pieces on the walled tower waving three times. said to Zhu Yi: "It's already in range." ”

Zhu Yi nodded and said one word: "Hit." "The drumming of the militia has stopped. The herald picked up the brass trumpet and blew it.

This trumpet sound represents the signal for the start of an attack. The captain next to the crossbow phalanx shouted: "Set up, prepare the second row ~ the first row ~ up!"
