"The Datong soldiers have moved."

Jin Yipeng raised his eyebrows and squinted at Zhang Yuan, who was standing at his side.

Zhang Yuan's eyes moved slightly, and he also noticed the abnormal movement in the north, and the relatives also followed Zhang Yuan to look to the northwest.

The gate of the camp in the north of Hanzhong City, which was originally closed closely, opened at this moment, and a large number of soldiers poured out of it, and countless crimson flags obscured his vision for a moment.

"Winter!" "Winter!" "Winter!"

The high-spirited sound of war drums roared from afar, and the expressions of everyone, including Zhang Yuan, were extremely solemn.

The ploy now seems to have succeeded in luring the battalion out of the barracks, but the real test is only now begining.

In the past few days, Zhang Yuan has figured out where the battalion soldiers who are now appearing outside Hanzhong City are from.

It was not difficult to hear the news, as he had sent people to blend in with the fleeing crowd long before the siege of Chenggu County.

Following the flow of refugees, some of them mixed into Chenggu County, and some of them mixed into Hanzhong City.

Sending small workers to blend in with the flow of refugees is nothing more than a common occurrence for the rogue.

They broke a lot of cities by relying on the combination of the inside and the outside.

The rogue's ability to attack fortifications was not strong, and the pursuit of officers and soldiers gave them no time and opportunity to build large siege equipment.

When the besieging army only has a simple ladder, then even the city wall is already considered a moat.

Soon after the Shaanxi uprising, he led people to follow Wang Jiayin to conquer Shanxi, and at that time he met Datong soldiers.

Zhang Yuan's expression was solemn, and his eyes were slightly acute.

Zhang Yuan himself was also born in the border army, Datong is an important town, and he has been fighting with Mongolia all the year round, both in terms of the quality of soldiers and the military expenses and ordnance they have received more than their Yansui Town.

At the beginning, they won several major battles with their numbers, but after that, they were defeated again and again, and even Wang Jiayin was killed by Cao Wenzhao, and finally had no choice but to flee to Henan.

Later, I heard that Cao Wenzhao took over the identity of the general soldier of Datong Town......

"Cao Wenzhao ......"

Cao Wenzhao, these three words are undoubtedly the dream demons that linger in the hearts of all the rogues.

Zhang Yuan's eyes were fixed on the officers and soldiers in the northwest, and the government didn't seem to have the idea of hiding the news, and the news they got was very clear.

This guerrilla battalion belongs to Datong Town, and the leading general is named Chen Wang, who was originally a family member under Cao Wenzhao, and was promoted to become a battalion general all the way.

defeated Li Zicheng first, chased and killed Li Guo, captured and killed Li Yangchun and Lin Shengquan, and won successive battles, and his name was spread in Shanxi.

Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth, and the three words of Cao Wenzhao pressed on his heart like three mountains, making it difficult for him to catch his breath.

】

Although it was almost three years later, he still remembered the great battle in Nanyuan.

In that battle, they gathered a full 30,000 people, not a single woman or child, not a single old or weak, all of them were young and strong elites in the ranks.

They first showed weakness with 1,000 cavalry all the way, and successfully introduced Cao Wenzhao into the encirclement.

When the cannon sounded, the soldiers and horses of the four sides moved together, and 30,000 soldiers and horses surrounded Cao Wenzhao's regiment......

However, the encirclement network they painstakingly arranged was torn apart by Cao Wenzhao with a gun and a group of armored horsemen, like a rag sack with wind on all sides.

The spear is sharp, the spear and shield armor are all shattered, and the soldiers and generals are all invincible!

Spears burst left and right, horses linger in the crowd!

Jin Yipeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked sideways at Zhang Yuan, Zhang Yuan's sudden silence made him feel that something was wrong with the situation.

Zhang Yuan was in a heavy mood, but he was also paying attention to Jin Yinpeng, and he had already seen the change in Jin Yinpeng's complexion in the afterglow.

Zhang Yuan thought in his heart, he knew that his gaffe might make Jin Wingpeng have some different thoughts.

However, Zhang Yuan is such a human spirit, he sank his face at the moment, his face was serious, and he changed the topic in a deep voice.

"Although the Datong soldiers went out of the camp according to our plan, the virtuous brother must not be careless to underestimate the enemy."

In the past few days, the two have already called each other brothers, and even swore to worship and exchanged names.

Jin Yinpeng called Zhang Yuan his brother, and Zhang Yuan called Jin Yipeng his brother, and the two departments joined forces.

It's just that although the two call each other brothers, they only seem to be intimate, but in fact they both have their own thoughts.

Even if the troops are combined, they are not completely combined, they are still divided into two armies, and they are only used for each other's reinforcements.

"Brother Xian started his army from Feng County, and he was invincible all the way, but the officers and soldiers he met were all guards, and he didn't know the benefits and disadvantages of the battalion."

Zhang Yuan raised his horsewhip and pointed at the army in the northwest that had stepped out of the camp, and Jin Yinpeng also looked northwest along the horsewhip, and was indeed guided by Zhang Yuan's words.

Jin Yinpeng's face also became a little solemn, and his heart sank involuntarily.

To be honest, he used to be just a peasant with his back to the loess, and he couldn't even figure out how many people there were in Feng County and how much land Feng County had.

If it weren't for the desperation, this thief would have been forced by God to make people unable to live, and he would probably still be the Lu Shi Lu Sanlang who was facing the loess with his back to the sky and only knew how to work hard.

When he was working, he only managed three or five people at most.

When he broke the Huang family's mansion and killed the fat head and big ears who had been bullying him, more and more people gathered behind him.

By the time he arrived in Baoxian, he had already become the commander of tens of thousands of people.

It wasn't until this time that he found out......

It turns out that they can actually live in a different way.

It turns out that those high-ranking old men will also be afraid.

It turned out that those green skins with sticks in their hands were nothing more than strong on the outside.

It turned out that Fengxian was just a small place in the world, and the world was far broader than he originally thought.

Everything was beyond his cognition, beyond his ability.

Lu Shi lowered his gaze, his legs gradually tensed, holding the whip in one hand and the reins in the other.

The first time he rode a horse was actually a month ago, he was not very good at riding, he fell from his horse countless times, but eventually he learned to ride, and his brothers also learned to ride.

Those who did not learn to ride horses died under the pursuit of officers and soldiers......

The weight on his shoulders weighed more than 10,000 catties, but he couldn't show any inadequacy.

Lu Shi knew very well that as long as he showed cowardice and showed weakness, he didn't have to wait for the officers and soldiers to make a move, and the people under his command would take his position and take his life.

"What's the difference between a battalion and a guard?"

Lu Shi dragged the war horse forward a little, restrained his expression, and asked in a low voice.

Zhang Yuan's eyes flashed, and he pointed first to the sky and then to the ground.

"One is the sky, one is the earth, one is the tiger, and the other is the dog."

Zhang Yuan held a horsewhip and pointed to the battalion formation that had been launched in the distance.

"The guards of the Nine Sides have some skills, but the guards of the inland guards are not even neatly dressed, let alone weapons and armor."

Zhang originally just wanted to find an excuse to dispel Lu Shi's suspicions, but looking at the military formation of the Datong soldiers in the northwest, he didn't know why he began to be a little frightened.

Because the battalion soldier who had just stepped out of the camp gave him a feeling unlike any army he had encountered before.

The more Zhang Yuan looked, the more he felt that something was wrong, he didn't feel the aura of slaughter from the body of that battalion soldier, but he felt another kind of oppression.

The oppressive atmosphere affected the overall atmosphere, Zhang Yuan controlled the restless war horse under his seat, and the scene in front of him made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Zhang Yuan remembered that he had met an officer and soldier, and the feeling that that officer and soldier brought him was not much different from that of the Datong soldiers in front of him.

The name of that officer and soldier is - "Tianxiong Army", and the commander of the leading army is named Lu Xiangsheng, the cold-blooded and ruthless King Lu Yan who is famous in the seven provinces!

Zhang Yuan's eyes were deep, and his gaze kept wandering in front of the battalion not far away, explaining to Lu Shi.

"The battalion is different from the guards, almost all of the battalion soldiers are armoured, and the armament is sufficient, much stronger than the guards, you can pay attention to it when you get closer."

"There are also grades among the battalions, and not all battalions can fight, and the battalions are weak and strong."

Lu Shi frowned slightly, looked at the large array of officers and soldiers in the northwest, and asked.

"What rank does the Datong soldier belong to?"

Zhang Yuan stared at the battalion soldiers who had already lined up not far away, his face became more and more gloomy, but he did not forget to answer Lu Shi's question.

"Among the Ming army of the Nine Sides, Liaozhen has the strongest combat power and is the first-class."

"The next class is the Changping soldiers and Jizhou soldiers, these are all important towns, and the battalions of the important towns are strictly organized, if you encounter the battlefield, you can escape, don't think about winning."

Zhang Yuan's eyes were cold, and some bad memories appeared in his mind.

"Datong and Xuanfu are the third class, but Cao Wenzhao went to Datong, and now Datong can be ranked second."

"Then our three towns in Shaanxi?"

Lu Shi frowned slightly and wondered.

"After lining up all the military towns in front, the last is our three towns in Shaanxi, and our three towns in Shaanxi are the fourth and worst first-class ......"

There are three towns in Shaanxi Province, namely Yansui (Yulin), Ningxia and Guyuan.

He was once a battalion soldier in Yansui Town, and he was also an officer in the army, but even if he was an officer, he couldn't get the salary he deserved.

They guarded the frontier day and night in the steppes of the north, guarded the Great Wall, and fought bloody battles with the Mongols outside and inside the fortress, but in the end they got nothing.

They are all border troops guarding the border, but why do they have to take the worst armament and the lowest salary.

In the world of severe drought and no harvest, what is waiting for is not the officials who provide disaster relief, but the documents for raising taxes......

Millions of silver were smashed into the fire pits of Liaodong, and nothing was in exchange for anything, in exchange for the worsening situation.

When the war began, troops had to be dispatched from these towns every year, and the people who came to aid Liao set foot on the official road and never returned.

Hundreds of people passed, and all that came back was a fluttering piece of paper full of defeat.

Zhang Yuan's resentment rose in his heart, his whole body trembled slightly, and the uneasiness in his heart was completely replaced by anger.

Lu Shi keenly noticed the change in Zhang Yuan's mood, he saw that Zhang Yuan's hand holding the horsewhip gradually turned white due to excessive force, and he also saw the anger and unwillingness in Zhang Yuan's eyes.
