Chapter 12 On Merit
"How can a scarce number of bitter bandits who lack food and use be compared with a large number of steppe tartars with abundant combat strength?"
"And among those tartars, there may not be no hidden shamans and other warlocks!"
"What the emperor and the court did is very wrong!"
Chai Tiannuo shook his head vigorously.
The day before yesterday, I heard Li Zhengxi talk about the origin of the grassland tartars, Chai Tiannuo was shocked in his heart, it turned out that the grassland tartars sold in the northwest, except for a small number of them, were put into Zhili by the Emperor Tianqi!
These grassland men who can fight well have formed many tribes in Zhili in a short period of time, and they have a strange temperament, and they have pulled out more than ten barracks in just a few months, and more than thousands of soldiers have been killed and wounded.
Chai Tiannuo felt that this was no longer a whetstone, it had purely become a pig-killing knife, and he didn't know what the Emperor of Tianqi thought.
If you want to train elite soldiers, you can let each guard take turns to go to the frontier and sweep the sand in the big waves, so that those who stay are the real elite soldiers!
Wasting such a huge amount of material resources and manpower in a place close at hand, okay?
At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, the policies set by the emperor did have earth-shaking changes with Dahua.
But in just a few years, the emperor seems to have changed.
The military merit officer and Captain Guo Yi looked at each other and shook their heads, it was indeed wrong.
In fact, not only Chai Tiannuo, but also many warriors have discovered that something is wrong, and the general even loudly asked the Emperor Tianqi above the court, whether he wants to destroy the Great Wall of the country?
As a result, he was cursed by the Emperor of Tianqi and beaten with a cane, and the angry general who was the great grandmaster vomited blood in court, and it took several months of bedridden to recover.
However, the general has not been to the court for a long time on the grounds that he is ill.
"The emperor's thoughts, how do we as courtiers judge?"
Captain Guo Yi smiled bitterly, and the military merit officer sighed:
"I can only accept it and see if the emperor can repent."
Chai Tiannuo shook his head, didn't say anything more, and the three horsemen moved forward at a rapid speed along the post road full of corpses, and after a while, they saw thick black smoke rising in front of them, covering half of the sky.
“…… Mother, rabbit, speed up! ”
Looking at the corpses of the merchants and people on the post road, Chai Tiannuo's face became more and more ugly, and he rode the rouge rabbit into the distance like an arrow.
Lieutenant Guo Yi and the military merit officer grinned, the speed of the crimson rouge rabbit was against the sky, it was like flying!
"Emperor, it's really wrong."
Looking at the dead women and children on the ground, Captain Guo Yi sighed, and the military merit officer also sighed with him, and couldn't bear to look at the miserable situation on the ground, so the two followed with cold faces.
"Emperor, Emperor, this is the result you want?"
The head of the martial arts school led the people and the new talents, and looked at the blood and fire in front of Jin Zhen in front of him, his face was full of pain.
Around the capital, there are two most prosperous boundaries, one is Luoshui, and the other is Jinzhen.
Luoshui students and officials are the mainstay, and Jinzhen is dominated by businessmen and literati, all of which are places where the cultural atmosphere is at its peak.
Luoshui is longer than quiet, after all, it is the place where the Guozijian is located, and silence is its characteristic.
Jin town is noisy, this noise is not noisy, but the literary style here is too lively, and the literati are mainly Jin celebrities, arrogant and enthusiastic are their characteristics.
The original static and moving are the two poles of Dahua Beijing, echoing each other, setting off the prosperity of the entire Dahua literary circle.
But now, the town of Jin is full of blood and fire, the soldiers of the Weifu Mansion have been defeated and retreated under the attack of countless Tartar bandits, the black and white buildings are on fire, and the people who have not had time to escape have turned into dead souls under the knife.
"Boys, form a formation in a squad and slaughter those bloody people for a certain handful!"
The mountain chief roared, holding a one-eared halberd, and rushed out with more than a dozen teachers first.
"Mountain Chief, isn't the order of the military department for us to suppress the formation?"
Sun Jingzhong asked in a low voice, raising the longbow in his hand as he asked, and three arrows were swishing, and three Tartars who were holding guns and smiling fell in the distance.
"The formation of pressing a fart, they are all like this, listen to his orders, kill!"
The mountain chief roared, his body suddenly jumped out of seven or eight feet, a halberd fell, and even the people and horses were split in half, and then a thorn pierced the bitter bandit who rushed forward and threw it far away!
"The mountain chief is mighty!"
Archery instructor Sun Jingzhong grinned, smeared arrows in his right hand, and rushed towards their cavalry and fell most of them in an instant.
“…… Grandma is a bear, she is worthy of being the first condor archer in the army that year, and in terms of combat power, she is even more dazzling than a certain great master! ”
Seeing Sun Jingzhong's performance, the mountain chief grinned and ran into the distance again.
Finally close to the capital, as more and more soldiers arrived, the war was slowly turning, although there were a lot of Tartars, but the weapons were too different, and they slowly fell behind.
The remnants of the people in Jin Town also fled to Luoyang City under the cover of the government soldiers, but the number was not even one-tenth of the previous one, not to mention others, only two ways of literature and commerce, and it was a big blow to Dahua!
"Kill, kill, kill these annoying tartars!"
The mountain chief who walked barefoot in full armor was like a heavenly general, and the place where the one-eared halberd waved was all debris, if Chai Tiannuo saw it, he would be delighted, and the consequences caused by himself and the mountain chief were exactly the same.
"Priest, there are more and more soldiers, and the sons can't stand it."
The voice of the Tartar head man was a little anxious, according to the orders of the shamans, more than 100,000 grassland Tartars entered the hinterland of Shenzhou one after another, converged the bitter bandits, and under the command of the priest sent by the Kunwu Immortal Kingdom, they quickly established themselves in Zhili.
After several months of accumulation, he finally gathered an army of nearly 100,000 and launched an attack on Dahua Capital!
However, the plan was very good before, but when it was really time to start an incident, I found out that the combat power of the people of Dahua was really amazing!
Not to mention those women and children, but all adult men, there are no knives and guns beside them?
Even those literati who wore wide-sleeved shirts and looked bohemian and unruly were also amazingly ruthless when they really moved.
scolded your mother and the eight ancestors of Yu'er, and the exquisitely decorated slender ones in their hands waved horizontally, and the spears and halberds that stabbed them broke one after another.
Twenty or thirty people, stunned, were able to block a battalion of cavalry at the entrance of the alley.
If it weren't for the arrows that pierced a few holes in their bodies, these madmen who scolded and didn't look like literati would not have retreated.
"Sure enough, under the leadership of Li Jingshen, Dahua's folk customs have changed greatly, and it is no longer the ancient country where etiquette has been handed down."
The priest lifted his hood, but he never thought that it was a graceful and handsome woman about thirty years old.
"Priest, then how should we deal with it, retreat, or attack hard?"
A bitter bandit saluted with his hands crossed, and his face was respectful.
"Don't be impatient, listen quietly, in Luoyang City, there is beautiful music."
The priest tilted his ears and made a listening gesture, and the Tartar head and the bandit general glanced at each other, put their palms to their ears, and tried to find the beautiful music from the noise.
"There is really music, and it is still played on the lute!"
The two of them looked up suddenly, with surprised expressions on their faces, and the priest smiled charmingly:
"The breaking array song sounded, and Luoyang, the thousand-year-old imperial capital, was about to break."
