On the official road from Shangqiu to Xuzhou, the army of Jiannu is marching forward.

Duoduo rode a white horse and walked among thousands of horses, because the weather was cold, so Duoduo did not wear chain mail, and did not wear iron armor when he did not fight, but only wore a white cotton armor with red edges.

On a cold day like this, the advantages of cotton armor are reflected.

Because wearing a small ten-pound cotton armor, it can really keep warm.

But even if he is wearing cotton armor, he is still brave the wind and snow.

From the rapid march in the early morning to now, he has been riding for more than five hours, and he has rested for a while, which will already be hungry and tired, and even feel that his legs are frozen and unconscious.

At that moment, Duoduo whipped Fan Chengmo, who was leading the horse for him.

"Dog minion." Dodor scolded with a dark face, "I don't have any eyesight. ”

Fan Chengmo turned his head and looked at Duoduo with a confused expression, he really didn't know why he was beaten.

Fan Chengmo really couldn't understand why Duoduo treated him like this since he begged him from Zhenghongqi?

"Still stunned?" Duoduo cracked his head and two more whips, and then scolded, "Why don't you hurry up and bring the wine jug, do you want to freeze the king to death or what?" ”

"Huh? Oh. Fan Chengmo woke up like a dream.

At that moment, Fan Chengmo walked to the pack horse next to him and took the gourd from the horse's back.

Duoduo took the gourd, uncorked it, and poured a large sip of the spirits.

On this cold day, if you can't drink a few sips of soju, you really can't bear it.

After a few sips of strong liquor, a stream of hot air slowly spread from the chest and abdomen to the eight veins of the limbs, and the eight veins of the limbs, which were about to freeze, regained consciousness, and the person became emotional.

"Waxing!" Dodor turned his head and yelled, "Come here." ”

A burly Jiannu military general immediately rode his horse and galloped over.

This military general is also dressed in white cotton armor with red edges, and the bowl on the top of his head, the stump, and the eyebrows are also white, and only the tassel floating on the top of the two-foot-high tasseled spear is red.

Obviously, this is a military general with a white flag.

In fact, Waxing'a is the white flag of the Lama Zhangjing.

The first warrior of Manchuria in Aobai was sealed by Huang Taiji, but Waxinga has always refused to accept it.

Waxing'a insisted that Ao Bai could become the first warrior of Manchuria only because he was the Yellow Flag Baya Laxuzhangjing, and if it weren't for this, he would be the first warrior of Manchukuo.

Vaxinga Pegasus came to Duoduo and asked a thousand questions, "Master, you called me?" ”

"Hmm." Dodor burped and asked, "Where have you come now?" How far is it from Xuzhou? ”

Wa Xing'a said without thinking: "Just now, there was a report from the night of the white flag, saying that it was less than ten miles away from Xuzhou, and they had dispersed the Yiding outside Xuzhou City. ”

In other words, the white flag has basically controlled the periphery of Xuzhou.

Duoduo said: "Let's go, take the guards and go with the king to see Xuzhou City." ”

"Huh!" Waxing Adang immediately summoned the Bayala soldiers with white flags, that is, the white armor soldiers.

In less than a moment, the white-armored soldiers with white flags gathered, and there were more than 600 of them, more than the yellow flags, because the white flags were now full of 58 oxen.

When Duoduo arrived outside Xuzhou with the white armor soldiers, the white banner had already completed the purging of the periphery, and the Eight Banners Mongolia was searching for a larger area.

However, the front only advanced to the outer six miles of Xuzhou.

Because if you go any further, you will enter the strike range of the Ming army.

Wa Xing'a pointed to Xuzhou and said, "Master, this is Xuzhou City." ”

"It turns out that this is Xuzhou." Duoduo said as he took out the binoculars from the saddle leather bag, unfolded them, and then aimed his vision in the direction of Xuzhou City.

What appeared in the field of vision was indeed a majestic city.

While observing Xuzhou City, Duoduo said leisurely: "It is said that dozens of wars broke out in Xuzhou City, which determined the rise and fall of more than a dozen dynasties, and this time I am afraid that we will witness history again." ”

Wa Xing said: "What the master said is extremely true, Nanming will be defeated in this battle!" ”

"Humph!" Duoduo snorted and said, "What this king wants is not only to defeat the Ming army, but also to capture Chongzhen alive!" ”

Wa Xing said: "Master, you can put a hundred hearts, it is early spring, Xuzhou is the season of cold and freezing, the Yellow River has long been frozen, as long as Chongzhen is in Xuzhou, then don't think about leaving." ”

As he was talking, a huge white shadow suddenly rose slowly in the city of Xuzhou in the distance.

"Huh, what is this?" When Duoduo saw this, he was taken aback, what is it?

Not only Duoduo, but also Waxinga and more than 600 white-armored soldiers with white flags also saw it.

"What the hell is this?" Waxinga and the white armor soldiers were all stunned, what a big ball!

……

Zheng Sen was so nervous at this time that he was about to suffocate.

The two gentlemen behind him were pulling the bellows to blow the air, so they didn't feel anything, but Zheng Sen, who was standing on the edge of the hanging basket, felt that both legs were trembling slightly, which was too high.

It's just high, and the key is still hanging underneath.

This feeling of no roots under your feet and no decline is really terrible.

If you fall, even if you don't fall to your death on the spot, I'm afraid you'll have to fall to cripple.

Zheng Sen really wanted to yell at the eunuchs below and ask them to quickly hang Kong Minglan down.

But when he thought of the Holy Lord's entrustment, Zheng Sen held back his fear, because this Kong Ming lantern was likely to determine the success or failure of the next battle in Xuzhou.

And the success or failure of the Battle of Xuzhou will determine the life and death of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in a sense, the safety of Daming is all tied to this Kong Ming lantern!

Puff, puff...... The two men in the hanging basket kept pulling the bellows, puffing out the warm air from the stove and feeding it into the huge Kong Ming lampshade overhead.

The eunuch below also slowly turned the winch and kept releasing the hemp rope.

So the Kong Ming lantern rose higher and higher, like a huge kite gradually rising into the sky.

When Kong Ming's lantern rose to a height of ten zhang, Zheng Sen looked down again, and saw that the saints, eunuchs, and scholars on the ground had all turned into villains, which was not so terrifying at this time.

Zheng Sen looked at the northwest direction, and saw that there was a heavy platform in his field of vision.

But outside the outermost platform, there was only a white expanse left, and nothing could be seen clearly.

This is because people's eyesight is limited, and it is difficult to distinguish human figures from two miles away, but fortunately, Zheng Sen was prepared and borrowed three telescopes from Shengshang.

Pull the telescope out of the way and point your field of view to the northwest.

Soon, a team of Jiannu appeared in the field of view of the telescope.

Most of these Jiannu rode white horses, wore white cotton armor, and even the flags were white, almost blending in with the surrounding snowfield, and Zheng Sen exhausted his eyes to distinguish these Jiannu cavalry from the vast snowfield.

The field of view of the telescope continued to rise, aiming farther away, and finally saw the different colors of the Jiannu cavalry.

The Jiannu cavalry that appeared in the field of vision had red armor, blue armor, and yellow armor, and there were also many cavalry wearing gray-brown armor, which looked like leather armor.

Then, Zheng Sen saw one by one partial vans.

There are quite a few vans that are also loaded with heavy Hongyi cannons.

I saw Jiannu's cavalry, foot soldiers and chariot battalions marching along the official road, extending from about six or seven miles away from Xuzhou to the end of the unclear field of vision, and I don't know how many there are in the distance?

……

The No. 9 hill of Yunlong Mountain is also the closest mountain to the periphery.

On the top of the mountain, the sound of drums sounded, and under the expectant gaze of thousands of border town soldiers, Qin Liangyu, who was dressed in a costume played by Li Xiangjun, appeared on the platform on a "horse".

After a long prelude to the drum music, Li Xiangjun reluctantly lifted the wooden horse in his hand.

The long lock hand in the blowing class immediately simulated the neighing of the war horse, which was wonderful.

Immediately, Li Xiangjun's beautiful but heroic singing voice sounded: "A trip to the mountain, a trip to the water, a trip to the Yuguan, a thousand tent lights in the middle of the night!" The wind is changing, the snow is changing, the dream of the broken hometown cannot be realized, and there is no sound in the old garden. ”

Just these few lines of singing vividly showed the scene of Qin Liangyu riding alone to aid the Hunhe battlefield on a snowy night, and the thousands of soldiers watching the play under the stage were also brought into the snowy night outside Shanhaiguan, followed by Li Xiangjun's singing, and appeared on the tragic Hunhe battlefield.

A hundred steps away, the Portuguese instructor Qu Shawei was deploying the Hongyi cannon with the artillery team.

Jin Shenghuan was watching, and the sound of drums and Yiyi's singing voice came from behind him, like 10,000 ants crawling on him, making him can't help but want to go back to watch the play.

But no, he had to hold back.

Li Xiangjun's little lady is a holy forbidden, and no one is allowed to touch it!

In the end, Jin Shenghuan couldn't help it, so he turned around and went down the mountain to the foot of the mountain to listen to the scholar's speech.

I saw a burly soldier standing on a platform, giving a speech to the soldiers under Jin Shenghuan in official words, and the soldiers in charge of guarding the platform at the foot of the mountain were listening attentively.

Jin Shenghuan is a native of Yulin, northern Shaanxi, and half of the soldiers under his command are veterans from northern Shaanxi, and the other half are from Henan or Shanxi, so they can understand the official language.

"Soldiers, do you know why you want to kill Jiannu?"

"Because Jiannu wants to kill us, if we don't kill Jiannu, we will be killed by Jiannu!"

"Jiannu not only wants to kill us, but also captures our children to make coatings, that is, let our children use them as cattle and horses, and they also want to rape our wives and daughters, do you know what adultery is? That's right, that's what you think, and it's forcing our wives and daughters to sleep with them, and if they don't have anything to eat, they will kill our wives and daughters and eat them as military rations! ”

"Have you ever heard of a two-legged sheep? It's the wife and daughter of our Han family! ”

After saying this, the scholar shouted again: "Are you willing that your parents will be killed by Jiannu, that your children will be Jiannu's clothed slaves, and that your wives and daughters will be reduced to two-legged sheep?" ”

"I don't want to!" Hundreds of soldiers roared in amazement, and Tong Kong was red.
