Lu Xiangsheng's dream came true.

He was summoned into the palace by the emperor, and finally got the emperor's understanding and trust through some heart-to-heart and heart-wrenching explanations, and got a sentence that he wanted to hear in countless dreams: "Aiqing, your loyalty to the court, I have seen it, you are a good courtier, you can be used, credible!" ”

That's it.

Lu Xiangsheng's tears fell.

"Your Majesty!"

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, thumping, and a big bag popped out of his head.

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly ordered someone to help him up, give him a seat, and appeased him again, staging a warm scene of Ming Jun and Xianchen.

However, for Lu Xiangsheng's proposal, he should take the Tianxiong army to fight with the Houjin Tartars, protect the people, and remove the threat around the capital.

"No!"

Zhu Youzhen immediately shook his head and said: "Lu Aiqing can't take risks with a large army, there are 200,000 Tatars, and the Tianxiong army is no more than 10,000, how can he be the opponent of Jiannu?" It is better to bring the Tianxiong army into the city, strengthen the defense of the Beijing Division, and do not fight in the wild. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister's Tianxiong army is not weaker than the elite of Jiannu, and if you fight in the field, you may not be able to win in battle! Your Majesty, the surrounding people are being ravaged and urgently need the help of the imperial court, so let the ministers protect them. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said, the tragic situation of Jiannu slaughtering the village, he saw it on the march, it was unbearable, and he also defeated a looting Niu Lu, beheaded nearly a hundred, and his own casualties were less than 20 people, the defense of the half-body plate armor was extremely high, and the armor-piercing ability of the alloy Yanling knife was strong, so it had a huge weapon advantage.

Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng said: "Tartars with less than 10,000 people, the Tianxiong army of ministers can easily defeat them, and about 30,000 Tatars, the Tianxiong army can be undefeated for a long time!" Taking advantage of the mobility brought by bicycles, Your Majesty and the ministers are confident that they will repel the Tartars through raids and harassment battles to protect and rescue the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"No! The millions of people in the capital need the protection of the Tianxiong Army! ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said, "Lu Aiqing, you can take the Tianxiong Army into the city, don't live up to my trust in you." ”

"But around the capital, there are still hundreds of people who are being slaughtered and ravaged by Jiannu!" Lu Xiangsheng, who was eager to fight, bowed to him.

"Lu Xiangsheng! There are still hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty, once something happens to the Jingshi, it is the people of the whole world who will be slaughtered and ravaged, you don't commit Hutu! Zhu Youzhen said sharply.

"It's Your Majesty, and the minister obeys the order."

Lu Xiangsheng had to obediently lead the Tianxiong army into the city, standing on the five-zhang high city wall of the capital, holding a telescope, and saw the pillars of smoke rising around, and each pillar of smoke represented a village and town that was slaughtered by Jiannu, but the Tianxiong army could only stay within the tall city wall, and could only watch the slaughter of the people outside the city, and could not do anything.

He closed his eyes in pain.

I couldn't help but feel a little shaken and suspicious.

In order to gain His Majesty's trust, can he only abandon the people outside the city? To protect His Majesty and protect the people of the world, can he only take care of one? Was he really the right choice?

But Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to think deeply, he didn't want to separate the emperor from the people, so he could only convince himself that the millions of people in the capital were more important, and protecting His Majesty was to protect the people of the world, and he couldn't spoil the overall situation because of small intolerance.

……

Twenty-three days.

Tongzhou, which is less than forty miles away from the capital.

After twelve days of rapid marching, Xujiazhuang's muscle army has arrived here for a day, and has entered the city to rest and adjust for a day to restore physical strength and spirit.

In fact, when the muscle legion first arrived in Tongzhou yesterday, it can be said that it caused a lot of commotion and repercussions, and was even misunderstood as 'the Tartars are coming', and the garrison in Tongzhou City was frightened, and immediately closed the city gate and maintained a high degree of vigilance.

The main thing is that the image of the Muscle Corps is too terrifying.

The average height is 1.9 meters.

The average weight is about 200 pounds.

All of them were dressed in full-body plate armor that shimmered like canned silver.

Each carries a two-meter-long alloy chopping knife with a blade + handle, and the grinding is cold and bright.

It was mainly bicycles that sat down, and more than 300 people rode heavy motorcycles (due to the excessive weight and the tendency of the bikes to fall apart).

Then the bicycle roared, the motorcycle buzzed, and came towards Tongzhou City, this amazing scene, how could it not scare the people in Tongzhou City.

However, when he learned that it was Xu Jiajun of Xujiazhuang, he asked to enter the city to rest for one night, and Yang Yan (Yang Yufan's nephew), the general of Tongzhou City, not only immediately ordered to open the city gate, but also showed ecstasy, and ordered the restaurants and inns in the city to find a way to vacate the room for Xu Jiajun, to come up with the best conditions for hospitality, and to entertain Shi Yong, the temporary commander of the muscle legion, in front of the saddle and horse, nodded and bowed, and behaved very enthusiastically.

The merchants and people in the city of Tongzhou also took the initiative to pay money and goods to greet this Xu family army, which was very popular with the people in the city.

The reason is simple.

Yang Yufan, the general soldier of Tongzhou, has cooperated with Xujiazhuang many times, and each cooperation has obtained huge gains, and tens of thousands of soldiers from Tongzhou have made a fortune, which means that tens of thousands of Tongzhou families have benefited.

And Tongzhou is the end of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, is an important water and land transportation hub, Tongzhou businessmen are also a large scale and influence of the business, they have a lot of cooperation with Xujiazhuang, benefited a lot, are very dependent on the cooperation with Xujiazhuang.

Even if Xu Jiazhuang is said to be the food and clothing parents of countless Tongzhou people, it is not an exaggeration.

Now that the army of food and clothing is coming, the attitude of the people of Tongzhou is naturally much more cordial and enthusiastic than that of other court officials and soldiers, and they have the feeling of the military and the people, how can there be a hostile and defensive attitude?

But the Muscle Legion had no choice but to rest for the day, having just washed away the fatigue of the long journey.

The Houjin Army is coming!

A cavalry army of about 5,000 people belonging to the Two Blue Banners, led by Deng Shiku, the son of Derge, went straight to Tongzhou City.

However, there were only 1,000 Jianzhou Zhentars in this army, and the other 4,000 were Mongol cavalry, and they did not carry siege equipment, and the main purpose was to plunder the canal and cut off the transportation.

Of course, if you can take the fortified city of Tongzhou, it is also a happy event, after all, there is a huge granary in Tongzhou City, there are a large number of warehouses, storing millions of stones of all kinds of materials, once it is taken, more than 200,000 Jin Army can eat for two or three years, let alone worry about logistics.

It's just that they obviously thought too much, and there were 5,000 cavalry in vain trying to launch a surprise attack, but the momentum was so great that they could detect it from twenty miles away, and even if they quickly arrived at the city of Tongzhou, they saw the tightly closed city gate.

"Hey! Why is Ming so alert? I don't have a chance. ”

Deng Shiku sighed, but then thought about it, the momentum of the five thousand cavalry galloping was indeed too great, and if a small force of fifty or five hundred cavalry was used to raid the city gate, it might have a miraculous effect.

He is too young to be a soldier and not experienced enough, and there is still a lot to learn.

Just as he was about to give the order to retreat, the target turned to the docks, inns, and freight stores next to the canal.

"The city gate is open, and the Ming army is out!"

The guards beside him suddenly said with a look of surprise: "They dare to go out of the city to fight?" ”

Deng Shiku immediately stopped his horse, and observed for a while the army that poured out of the city gates, dressed in silver armor, each with a very bluffing sword on his back, and looked very well equipped.

"Their armor is good, I want them all."

Deng Shiku ordered: "Prepare for battle and annihilate that Ming army!" ”

"Woo~"

"Roar~"

This cavalry army of 5,000 people quickly adjusted its formation, and collectively showed a cruel and greedy grin.

……

City gates.

The Xujiazhuang Muscle Legion sent 3,000 muscular men out of the city, and then relied on the city wall to form a formation, and many people carried wood and wires one by one, first nailed the wood to the ground with a sledgehammer, and then crossed and wound the wires with spikes.

"Hurry up, hurry up with all the movements!"

"Within ten minutes, three barbed wire fences must be laid in front of the military formation."

"We are not cavalry, we will face their cavalry charge, and these barbed wire fences are the weapons to stop them."

Zhang Hu inspected in front of the formation, and his thunderous voice admonished.

As a close guard who protects the owner Xu Yuan all the year round, Zhang Hu couldn't hold back his desire for war, and this time he also signed up for the application, successfully joined the muscle legion, and achieved the third overall ranking in the ring competition.

But Zhang Hu is still not satisfied, his goal is to win the first place in the muscular man, you must know that he has been with the owner for many years, and the food treatment has always been the best, so now he is two meters tall, weighs two hundred and eighty pounds, is full of muscle bumps, and his strength is unbeatable.

And he also married a wife and established a family, but he didn't expect that his weight increased significantly after marriage, as if he had gotten a second development, so now he is a super muscular man who weighs nearly 300 pounds, like an iron tower, and there are few people in Xujiazhuang who can compare with him.

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

If it weren't for the lack of physical strength, the slight lack of skills, and the opponent's tenacity, otherwise he would have won the first place in the ring competition.

Soon, three barbed wire fences were laid out.

The five thousand cavalry on the opposite side also began to charge, and the sound of dense horse hooves became louder and louder, and the momentum made Yang Yan and other Tongzhou people watching the battle on the city wall change color, and their faces were pale, and they couldn't help but feel worried.

Two hundred meters.

One hundred meters.

The two armies were only fifty meters apart.

"Throw grenades!" The main general, Shi Yong, took a loudspeaker and ordered.

Thousands of muscular men in Xujiazhuang, who were in the front row, took out more than two catties of wooden-handled grenades, unscrewed the cover, pulled the lead, and then threw it at the cavalry on the opposite side.

These grenades are not the previous white sugar grenades, but high-explosive grenades filled with smokeless gunpowder!

Before Xu Jiazhuang dispatched the muscle corps, considering the situation of dealing with the impact of the cavalry, barbed wire + high-explosive grenade is the best combination to deal with, which can completely restrain the impact of the ancient cavalry (Xu Yuan said that he did not bring breech guns and mortars, but he did not say that he did not bring barbed wire and grenades, and there are some things that need to be brought, and they still have to be brought).

And once the cavalry has no impact kinetic energy, it is needless to say what will happen in the face of muscular men and two-meter-long alloy swords.

The distance between the two sides is less than thirty meters!

Thousands of high-explosive grenades fell into the Houjin cavalry, and there was a fierce explosion!

Boom Boom Boom!

"Grey Law~"

"Aung Aung~"

"Ahh

”

The neighing of the horses and the screams of the personnel rang out.

In this wave of violent explosions, at least 500 people and thousands of war horses were reimbursed.

However, because the speed of the war horse also accelerated to the maximum, it was impossible to slow down at all, and could only bear this wave of casualties, and the Houjin cavalry continued to charge forward until it hit the three layers of seemingly very weak barbed wire.

Puff puff~

Who knows that the strength and toughness of the barbed wire are extremely high, and the war horse can break through the first lane, but it is difficult to break through the second lane, even if it touches the third barbed wire, the speed is greatly reduced.

The last thing that appeared in front of the muscular men of Xujiazhuang was a large number of war horses and cavalry whose speed had stagnated.

"Raise your sword!" Shi Yong ordered.

At least a thousand alloy cleavers were raised high, forming a wall of knives, and the sun shone with a dazzling cold light.

"Slash!"

The sharp alloy chopper slashed down almost at the same time.

"No!"

"Withdraw, give me all withdraw!"

Deng Shiku, who was behind the Houjin cavalry, had his eyes bulging out, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

Puff puff!

Blood is splattered, people's vests are shattered, and one cut is in half! That's what happened.

At least three hundred Houjin cavalry were slaughtered by this round of swords!

"Raise your sword!"

"Slash!"

Shi Yong began to say again, repeating the procedure.

After only five rounds of heavy slashing, the 5,000-strong Houjin cavalry collapsed, the Mongols turned around and ran first, and the Jianzhou True Tartars couldn't bear it, and retreated with fear on their faces.

But maybe they can run away?

Although the Xujiazhuang Muscle Legion is not a cavalry, its mobility will not be weaker than that of any class.

Zhang Hu sat in the back seat of a heavy-duty motorcycle (there is a rider in front of him who is responsible for driving), with more than 300 motorcycles, increase the throttle, buzz to chase up, once close, Zhang Hu brandished the saber again, a puff of blood spurted out, the cavalry on horseback, generally become two pieces of cavalry.

After a while, Zhang Hu chopped melons and vegetables, and killed at least fifty Houjin cavalrymen.

He even caught up with a young figure who looked like a big official.

"Don't chase me, don't chase me!" Deng Shiku saw the motorcycle behind him getting closer and closer, and said with a frightened face.

"Don't kill me, I'm the son of Derge, I'm the post-Kimbel (prince), I'm willing to surrender, I'm willing to surrender!" Seeing that Zhang Hu had already raised his sword, Deng Shiku shouted even more fearfully.

"It's noisy!"

Zhang Hu, who couldn't understand Manchu at all, only felt noisy, and slashed down with a knife, Deng Shiku raised his knife to block, but the scimitar in his hand was broken, and his arm was also cut off, and then cut into the waist diagonally without delay, swept across all the cross sections, and under the action of inertia, the upper body was thrown off the horse's back and fell to the ground.

Even the war horse that sat down was cut in two by the saber, and fell to the ground miserably, throwing out countless internal organs.

"Demon gods, these people are terrible demon gods."

Deng Shiku on the ground has not died immediately, he looked at the tower-like Ming strong man, and his heart welled up with endless regret, he shouldn't have come, the land of the Ming Dynasty, he shouldn't have come!
