Outside the city of Yanshan

The soldiers of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the army of the Governor of Hejian Prefecture from Hejian Mansion City are slowly moving forward.

The sound of horses' hooves!

The baggage cart left a deep rut mark in the snow......

A large banner of Song characters fluttered in the cold wind.

Although it is already February, this year's heavy snowfall seems to be extraordinarily long, and it has not stopped at all.

Many places in Daming were severely affected.

As the saying goes, the snow is a good year, but who knows how many people will be affected under this continuous heavy snow.

There are many displaced people.

This time, in order to exterminate the White Lotus Sect, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies sent a total of more than 4,000 people, plus 500 Prefecture troops, which is also considered a huge momentum.

However, these 4,000 people, including auxiliaries and logistics troops, are actually no more than 3,000 real combatants.

In front of the army, Li Mingcheng rode a snow-white thousand-mile horse, looking comfortable.

Although the cold weather made him feel extremely irritable, he was in a much better mood just thinking that the damn little mouse had become a cold corpse at the moment.

As for the fall of Yanshan, in his opinion, it is not enough to worry about the horse bandits.

When the army arrives, they must not bow down obediently.

What's more, since the news came from the shadow guard, it is estimated that his father had already planned.

Growing up, he never believed in himself.

Although he gave the task to himself, he didn't think that guy would be left without a backhand.

Song Wence immediately stepped forward and walked side by side with him with worry in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Brother Li, we have delayed the fighter plane by delaying time so much, this is a big taboo in the army, and this is a capital crime. ”

The journey that could have been completed in two days took four days.

Even if his father was a soldier in the army, if it really reached the ears of the saints, he would not escape the blame.

Li Mingcheng chuckled, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said meaningfully: "Brother Song, we haven't delayed time, it's freezing and the army is moving slowly, isn't this what it should be?" ”

Li Mingcheng didn't say a word.

What about a dead man.

As long as they can successfully recover Yanshan County, they will be heroes no matter what the process is.

As for how many people will die, no one really cares.

Commoners?

No, those are bandits!

Seeing that Li Mingcheng said this, Song Wenwen also let go of the worries in his heart.

Anyway, the idea was put forward by Li Mingcheng, even if something really happened, Li Mingcheng carried it.

……

In the carriage behind, the prefect Gao Mingyuan lifted the curtain, looked ahead, and shook his head gently.

In his opinion, this little marquis is still too impatient.

Jin Yiwei has urged three times, but this little marquis has repeatedly deliberately delayed the speed of the march, if Jin Yiwei knows, it will be difficult to escape the responsibility.

Even if His Majesty wants to punish him lightly for the sake of the Li family's face, the people of the military family will not let him go.

What's more, those imperial historians have long been ready to criticize Hou Ye.

Ordinary officials may be afraid of the Hou Ye, but in that group of imperial histories, there are always some people with iron heads.

They are famous in history, and they see that what is much more important than life.

A few days ago, this little marquis bought a thousand households of the Hejian Mansion in the name of the Marquis of Wuqing, and asked him to send people to attack and kill Lin Mang.

If this matter is known, it will inevitably leave a handle.

……

Soon, the mottled walls of Yanshan City gradually came into view.

Li Mingcheng looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, the bandits have invaded Yanshan County, how can we, as Ming soldiers, tolerate the arrogance of these bandits. ”

Song Wenwen raised his sword and shouted: "Destroy the rebels and recover the salt mountain!" ”

"Destroy the rebels and recover the salt mountain!"

The sergeants behind him burst into tears.

As a soldier, there is no faster way to merit than war.

A smile appeared on Li Mingcheng's face.

Lin Mang, Lin Mang, I will definitely choose a good tomb for you.

The army accelerated its advance.

But the next moment, the smiles on the faces of several people gradually froze.

On the city wall, there are rows of brocade guards with solemn faces.

Standing Flying Fish Streamers fluttered wantonly in the wind.

Li Mingcheng's face changed slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Jinyiwei? ”

In the carriage behind, Gao Mingyuan's eyes widened, and his heart suddenly felt bad.

How could it be Jinyiwei?

The people of the White Lotus Sect failed?

How can it be?

The horse bandits attacked Salt Mountain, and he knew all of this.

Yanshan County is the only place that does not obey his orders, and since this is the case, it is time for this Yanshan County order to be replaced.

Those horse bandits were nothing more than pawns in the hands of him and the White Lotus Sect that could be discarded at any time.

I really thought that a group of horse bandits could burn and loot wantonly in Hejian Mansion.

That may not be too underestimating the power of the government.

Of course, there was still a little accident in the process, and even he didn't expect that this group of horse bandits would be able to capture Yanshan County.

Everything they did was to lure the Jinyi Guards to come.

Then push all the Jinyi guards to death to the horse bandits.

The dignified Jinyi Guard, not only the whole army was wiped out, but also buried in the hands of horse bandits, if it is spread out, the Jinyi Guard will completely lose its majesty in the future.

At the same time, Cheng Hongnian, as a pacification envoy, should step down.

There are a large number of rudders of the White Lotus Sect here, and there are not a few strong ones, so it stands to reason that these brocade guards should die.

As soon as Jinyiwei died, the army would arrive, and without the help of the White Lotus Sect, how could these horse bandits resist the army.

From beginning to end, these horse bandits were pawns in the hands of him and the White Lotus Sect.

This is a plan for Jinyi Weizhi, and it is also a merit given to the little marquis.

But the scene in front of him made his heart fall into the valley of ice.

Li Mingcheng's expression was gloomy.

Without waiting for everyone to react, a team of brocade guards in the city rode out and surrounded everyone.

Lin Mang held a knife in one hand and slowly climbed the city wall.

Holding a pot of wine in his hand, he looked at everyone condescendingly, and chuckled: "Everyone, are you surprised to see this official?" ”

"Are you thinking that this official and his Jinyi guard should die here?"

Li Mingcheng's pupils shrank.

Soon pretended to be calm and said, "Lord Lin, I don't know what you're talking about?" ”

"Huh!" Lin Mang took a sip and laughed: "What am I talking about, don't you understand?" ”

"Colluding with bandits, delaying the speed of the march, and murdering Jinyiwei, do you want me to come one by one?"

"Kochifu!"

"This official is underestimating you."

Inside the carriage, Gao Mingyuan's heart sank.

"Come on, take down Li Mingcheng, Song Wenwen, Gao Mingyuan and others!"

"If you dare to resist, you will be killed!"

"Lin Mang!" Li Mingcheng shouted: "Why are you taking me? ”

Lin Mang looked down at him.

In the next moment, the figure floated down.

"Poof!"

A faint knife slashed through.

The blurred sword light slashed quickly, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal.

"Poof!"

Suddenly, there was an extra line of blood above Li Mingcheng's neck, and his head slowly slipped from his neck along the line, and his body fell from the horse's back, and blood flowed sideways......

Lin Mang watched this scene with great calm.

As soon as he threw the flask in his hand, a jug of spirits was poured on the ground.
