Chapter 187: Dragoons
Ou Peng and Ma Lin have a sense of crisis in their hearts, with the continuous expansion of the Zhu family army, there are more and more capable generals, their status in the Zhu family army is not as good as before, but they have nothing to complain about, first, the martial arts and background are indeed inferior to others, they have to be convinced, and Ou Peng has also made mistakes and stains, although Zhu Daguan is magnanimous and does not care, but he still has ideological baggage in his heart.
However, Zhu Long still takes good care of them, generally the partial generals are concurrently captains of infantry battalions, and the captains of cavalry battalions are all deputy captains, but in the Xuanwu Army, Ou Peng is a cavalry battalion lieutenant, and Ma Lin is a deputy battalion lieutenant.
They have always wanted to strive for meritorious service, but there are too many fierce generals in the Zhu family's army, and it is not their turn to steal the limelight. Therefore, when they finally led their cavalry battalion alone, they hoped that an enemy army would suddenly appear, and then the two brothers would capture the flag and break the enemy army, so as to regain the appreciation and attention of the great officials.
Just as they were thinking this—mainly Ma Lin was thinking—there was really an army that came by surprise, all cavalry, and there were quite a few of them, at least more than a thousand horsemen, twice as many as on their side.
However, the other party did not charge, but slowly approached. A handsome young military general in front, two lieutenants on the left and right.
Ou Peng was calm, adjusted his formation, and greeted him, guessing in his heart where these officers and soldiers came from, and the momentum did not look like the officers and soldiers of Gaotang Prefecture who were beaten away yesterday!
"Where is Zhu Long, if you don't come out yet, you will be caught!" The young military general shouted arrogantly.
Ou Peng and Ma Lin were furious, and their tone was so arrogant. Without waiting for Ou Peng to speak, Ma Lin slapped his horse and rushed out, and said angrily: "Where did the madman come from, how dare he be rude!" ”
"Listen to the thief, this general is Zhang Qing, the governor of Dongchang Mansion, where is Zhu Long, let him come out and die!" Zhang Qing said impatiently.
"Humph! Ignorant maniac, eat me! Ma Lin brandished his double knives and rushed towards Zhang Qing.
He, like Wu Song, both use double knives, and the two often learn and communicate, and their knife skills have improved a lot, and they are full of confidence at this time.
However, before he rushed to Zhang Qing, he saw Zhang Qing wave his hand, and a stone flew in, hitting Ma Lin's forehead, his skin was open, his eyes were bursting with gold stars, and he fell off the horse.
"Gong Wang, Ding Desun, tie up the thief!" Zhang Qing captured the enemy with one move, and he was full of spirit.
Seeing that Ma Lin was captured alive by the officers and soldiers, the eldest brother Ou Peng was anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to save people, but was knocked down by Zhang Qing with a stone and was also captured alive!
Zhang Qing saw that the cavalry battalion of the Zhujia Army had no main general, so he took the opportunity to attack with his army.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the five heads of the cavalry battalion hurriedly retreated, three led the team to flee to Lu Zhishen Wusong's convoy, and the other two fled to the direction of Zhulong.
As soon as Zhu Long heard Ou Peng Ma Lin's loss, he knew that the person who came was Zhang Qing, who was a "feather arrow", this Zhang Qing was a heads-up master, hitting people with flying stones with one hand, superb, and infinitely powerful, many heroes in Liangshan had suffered his losses, Zhu Long was worried about Lu Zhishen and them, and immediately rushed back with everyone.
Gao Lian now only has infantry and one hundred and fifty flying divine soldiers, so he can only watch Zhu Long go, angry and angry, hoping that Zhang Qing can withstand it.
When Zhu Long rushed to the Chinese convoy with his people, he only saw the official cavalry roaring away, raising dust in the sky. He was puzzled, and at this time, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song and others came up.
Lu Zhishen covered his head, still bleeding, obviously hit by Zhang Qingshizi, his face was full of anger. He has never suffered such a big loss when he has grown so big!
"The Master is injured?" Zhu Long stepped forward immediately and said with concern.
"That birdman actually attacked with a stone, and the Sprinkle family will definitely send him to see the Buddha!" Lu Zhishen said angrily.
"Is it that Zhang Qing, the eunuch of Dongchang Mansion, injured the master?"
Wu Song replied: "It is Zhang Qing, this person is good at flying stones to hit people, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him 'no feather arrow'." The means are powerful. His subordinates knew his roots, and they were prepared in advance, so they dodged his stones, and almost cut down his horse, but unfortunately let him escape, and the two brothers Ou Peng and Ma Lin were not saved! ”
"Don't worry, I'll save them!" Zhu Long secretly gave a thumbs up, but Wu Song was alert and responsive.
At this time, Zhu Hu and Qin Ming also arrived with their troops and asked loudly, "Where are the officers and soldiers?" ”
"Ran!"
"Big brother, I'll go hunt them down!" Zhu Hu volunteered.
Zhu Long waved his hand and said, "Second brother, wait a minute!" Gao Lian also has a 150-strong Flying Divine Soldier under his command! We have captured a lot of horses and armor of the Flying Divine Soldiers, and we have also used them, and we are angry and cheap! ”
Everyone knew the power of the heavy cavalry, and they all nodded in agreement.
Zhu Long originally planned to return to Zhujiazhuang and then form a heavy cavalry, but he didn't expect Gao Lian to still resist stubbornly, he still had one hundred and fifty flying divine soldiers under him, in order to fight, Zhu Long could only form a heavy cavalry immediately, fortunately, the war horses and armor were ready-made.
In fact, the cavalry of the Zhujia Army is also wearing iron armor, with vest-like breastplates, arm armor, helmets, and thigh armor, but they are not as protective as the flying gods, and even their faces are covered.
Zhu Long glanced at the generals and said: "Because of the limitation of armor, there are only one hundred and fifty cavalry in this armour, and I plan to send two fierce generals to lead, Qin Ming and Bian Xiang, which will be led by the two of you, Lao Qin is the positive, and Bian Xiang is the deputy!" The name of the cavalry - it is called dragoons, and it belongs to the Guards. The dragoons will be the strongest combat force of the Zhujia army in the future, you two don't let me down! ”
"Yes!"
Qin Ming doesn't care, he has always been in the most important position of the Zhu Jiajun, and he is used to it.
But Bian Xiang is very happy, this "Great Jin Right Prime Minister" has only been in Zhulong for a few days, and he has not arranged a position, now he has finally clarified his positioning, The deputy general of the dragoon, he is already very satisfied. What does "dragoon" mean? Dragon, I wish the dragon also! This is the elite cavalry that Zhu Long attaches the most importance to, and letting himself be the deputy commander of the dragoon means that Zhu Long regards himself as a confidant!
In fact, Zhu Long is really not at ease with him, after all, Tian Hu is now gaining momentum, what if he is recalled back to be the prime minister? The dignified right prime minister, even if it is a grass platform team, it is very attractive!
He promoted Bian Xiang to the deputy commander of the heavy cavalry, mainly because he wanted to watch it under his nose, so that even if he had different intentions, he couldn't turn the storm upside down.
This is Zhu Long's employment habit, his henchmen and cronies are all released to take charge of themselves, and the subordinates who are not so relieved stay by his side as thugs.
"Lord, this name is a mistake!" Lin Chong reminded that he grew up under the feet of the Son of Heaven, and he was very sensitive to these.
Zhu Long said with a smile: "It's okay, Zhou Gong is not shy about poetry, Confucius is not biased about the two names, just below, what is there to hide!" I only hope that the soldiers are really as vigorous as the dragon, attacking above the nine heavens and hiding under the nine abysses! ”
He turned his head to Qin Ming and Lu Zhishen and said, "Now there are forty Flying Divine Soldiers who have surrendered, and you will select fifty-five of the strongest soldiers from each of the Guards and Xuanwu Army to supplement the dragoons!" ”
Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Zhu Hu, and Qin Ming all began to pick people from their respective cavalry battalions.
Lu and Wu were both upright people, and according to Zhu Long's words, they selected the strongest cavalry, and Zhu Hu and Qin Ming secretly grunted there.
"Eh, Lao Qin, you leave this person for me, and that one can't do it...... You left me a few seeds, and let you pick them away, and the combat effectiveness of my cavalry battalion will drop all of a sudden......" Zhu Hu stared at Qin Ming tightly.
Zhu Long's face turned gloomy when he heard the prestige.
