Chapter 136: Yu Wai Night Thoughts
"Can you resist it for a while? It is said that Yuan Shuai is either a cannon or a firebolt! Lao Tzu is too cold here!
However, as long as you hold on until the arrival of General Ma! Wrong! Not good! Mr. Ma...... Mr. Ma can't come! Lao Meng! Old Meng, come over here......"
Jiang Shoubei's eyes widened and stared at the mountains and forests in front of him for a moment, but he was suddenly taken aback in his heart, called Lao Meng, and whispered: "You go and intercept General Ma, either ask him to turn around quickly, or lead people to help after turning around, but don't kill him single-handedly with a few guards!" ”
"General, wouldn't it be better for the chief soldier to come? You'll be able to ......"
"Stupid! It doesn't matter if we die in battle, at least we have left incense in the pass! But if the commander-in-chief is unfortunately killed, do you think that our wife and children will not be affected at all because of their small family? ”
"Wouldn't it? How could the imperial court ......"
"The doorway to this, when we survive, I'll tell you in detail. Go, go, don't delay any longer. ”
"Okay, take care of the general, and go back when you go to your humble position." Lao Meng secretly returned to the pass, beat the horse and left.
Jiang Shoubei roared at the right time: "Lao Meng has gone to ask General Ma for help!" Brothers, you must hold on! ”
"No!"
"That's great!"
"It's still the general who thinks thoughtfully!"
The answers of the soldiers were different, but the momentum was good.
Jiang Shoubei just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he caught a glimpse of the little guard beside him, he actually wanted to light the torch on his own initiative, and hurriedly slapped it away, and scolded with hatred: "Do you have any brains?" I wish Lao Tzu died early, right? ”
"General, I'm ......" The little guard was about to cry in fright.
"Both the Mongols and the Jiannu are very good at riding and shooting. Especially Jiannu, a group of stinky bears that have just come out of the ravine, especially like to catch other people's generals to shoot arrows, and even General Du, who is protected by thousands of troops, has to be hit by eighteen arrows...... Okay, okay, don't cry, eat a trench and grow wise, and protect me well. ”
Jiang Shoubei seemed to talk a lot because he was nervous, but he finally knew that his little life was all dependent on the protection of his brothers, especially the guards, so he patted the little guards who were related to him, the thin shoulders.
At this moment, Huang Chongzhen had already led people out of the mountains and forests and came to the front of the Great Wall checkpoint of Ma Lanyu, which was still a vast open space.
Looking up, in the hazy twilight, a quaint and pale yellow wall made of huge stones was like a giant dragon winding among the mountains.
And in that gap that is not very huge, it is Ma Lanyu, which is not as majestic as Yuguan, but it is also very important.
"Ma Lanyu!" These three simple and vigorous small seals are deeply engraved into the blue bricks above the city gate, and they are set off by the twilight, which makes them look more vicissitudes.
Huang Chongzhen raised his eyes and stared affectionately.
The noisy sounds of the closing had been caught in his ears by his keen hearing, and out of familiarity with these sounds, he immediately judged that the closing was being guarded to meet their group of uninvited guests.
At the same time, Huang Chongzhen subconsciously began to simulate in his mind, with the siege ability and technology of the Mongols or Jurchens, how to overcome this pass under the condition that the Ming Dynasty was fully prepared.
And if the Ming Dynasty is unprepared, how can he guard against such a surprise attack?
The result is not good, if you are unprepared, you will go down in a fight.
And even if they are prepared, it will be difficult to resist Huang Taiji's national attack, unless it is like Ning Yuan, the soldiers are united, and there are plenty of artillery and firearms.
Wu Sangui also stared at it for a while, then jumped to his feet and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable! The gates of the city were shut! ”
Zu Dale was also a little angry, and said, "Lao Tzu went to open the city gate!" His uncle, we fought for the country, spies against the enemy camp, and even Jiannu couldn't stop it, but was stopped by the gate of his own house! What kind of truth is this! ”
As he spoke, he was about to walk towards the gate.
Huang Chongzhen hurriedly pulled it back - he walked over recklessly like this, and there was a great possibility that he would be shot into a hedgehog.
Zu Dale thought about it, so he stopped indignantly, and the rest of the teenagers were also very angry, even Zhou Ji was no exception, but he could still restrain himself, but he couldn't help but complain a few times.
As Zu Dale said, it is all right to be hindered by all kinds of difficulties in the enemy camp, and instead of complaining, they will be aroused by ambition and feel enthusiastic.
It's like fighting wits and courage with wolves in the Great Palace, and fighting against the growing little wolf king in Fuling in the eastern suburbs.
However, just when I was about to get home, when my heart was like an arrow and my heart was full of energy, I was stopped alive, even if this block was just a routine inspection, it would be like being poured a basin of cold water.
It feels like a daughter-in-law who has already warmed up the bed in the warm house, but she doesn't want to spend the night outside in the ice and snow.
Therefore, even in the occupied territory of Houjin, the disciplined young people in Guanning have become anxious, and it is not so stupid to mutiny, but it is inevitable to complain a few words and curse a few times, even Zu Dale and Wu Sangui are blindly coaxing.
Huang Chongzhen understands this mood very well, and knows that these emotions are completely because of the long-term tension and sudden relaxation, and suddenly tense, if it is forcibly suppressed, it will only backfire.
So, just like the instructors and political commissars of later generations, he comforted and encouraged, moved them with affection, understood them with reason, and induced them to benefit, reminded Guan Ningjun's pride, and showed a beautiful blueprint in front of a group of young people who were looking forward to their age.
As a result, even Wu Sangui, an out-and-out interest ist, was bluffed. Not only did the anxious mood gradually stabilize, but even the fighting spirit and patriotic feelings rose a little.
Gu Tongying and others, who accompanied him, also felt very fortunate.
Especially Gu Yanwu, the children who seem to understand or not, Huang Chongzhen's words that were meant to be said to his comrades-in-arms were unintentionally inserted, but instead sowed a fiery fire in their young hearts that could ignite the prairie fire.
After calming down, Guan Ning's execution ability was very high, and with Huang Chongzhen's order, he took advantage of the faint light to set up camp in this open place.
- Two yurts, one more than enough for women and children, and the other packed with sweaty men, fortunately the same smell, so as not to complain about whose feet stinkest and whose snoring is the loudest.
There is no way, the men in Gujiazhuang seem to be rough and honest, but they are still unambiguous in the matter of stealing in troubled waters.
Gu Tongying didn't want his little daughter-in-law who was as smooth as water to be taken advantage of by other men.
In this matter, every man who is true to his wife is a stingy ghost.
Looking for a wife is the same as looking for a friend, that is, looking for someone who can tolerate each other's smells.
There were also small tents or sleeping bags, tied in more secluded places, or directly across the few large trees, for the sentinels who were on guard at night.
Wu Sangui was very worried that the defenders of the pass would take this act as a provocation, so he took advantage of the night to sneak out of the pass.
After all, two such conspicuous yurts, even at night, can see some outlines, it is easy for the friendly troops on the gate to misunderstand, for which he also complained softly.
Huang Chongzhen patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Not all Ming troops have such courage as the Guan Ning army", which directly raised the sense of honor of the Guanning teenagers to the peak, and they rushed to stand guard for their comrades.
Huang Chongzhen picked a few, politely refused Wu Sangui's fake request, and said: "Hurry up and rest, and go to the city gate early tomorrow morning." ”
The young people in Guanning got the order and fell asleep, Gu Tongying and the others seemed to have returned to the former military camp, and soon got used to such a military life, and also followed the clothes.
It is worth mentioning that before going to sleep, Gu Yanwu got out of his mother's arms, said "I'll go to sleep with my father", and like a puppy, he opened the camp tent and got into this yurt full of sweat.
He sniffed like a puppy, grinned, and hopped over to his father, who beckoned to him, and curled up and lay down.
"Why are you here? Didn't you let you sleep at your mother's place? ”
"I don't know which aunt smeared rouge before going to bed, causing me to sneeze all the time, it's better for my dad to be here, I'd rather smell it."
"Good son, then go to sleep, you can enter the customs tomorrow."
"Uh-huh."
The continuous trek had made Gu Yanwu extremely tired, and he soon fell asleep in his father's powerful arms, and he also snorted cutely.
When the boys and men listened, they felt very peaceful and warm, and soon they all fell asleep.
Huang Chongzhen left a crack in the sleeping bag on the tree, looked at the sky that still looked very red in the distance, sighed melancholy, and said, "Sin." ”
Turning his head to look at the hazy city wall of Ma Lanyu, which seemed to be strictly guarded, he felt a trace of comfort in his heart, and said secretly: "It seems that the defenders here are not without a sense of crisis.
But as long as he can work hard and increase some investment, even if he can't build a strong defense line like Guan Ningjin, it will not be able to let Huang Taiji, who gritted his teeth and gambled, break through so easily in the near future.
Then he became addicted, and from then on, he took pleasure in bypassing the switch and breaking through the rest of the levels and plundering the Central Plains.
The northern provinces, the Gyeonggi region, and the gate of the Son of Heaven were plundered again and again in this way, and finally erosed. even bypassed the Beijing Division, making Sun Chengzong, the builder of the Guanning Defense Line, tragic and martyred. ”
Thinking of this, Huang Chongzhen not only sighed faintly, but gently closed his dark and bright eyes and recuperated.
He hoped that the defenders of the gate would have the bloody nature to take the initiative to go out and sneak attack at night.
It's just that he thinks that most of the time there is no such possibility.
