Li Qiufeng smiled, leaned over, and clicked a few times on the officer and soldier, untying his sealed acupoint. The officer and soldier snorted and chirped, stood tremblingly in front of Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia, and said in a trembling voice: "Two good men spare their lives! The villain and the villain are just a big-headed soldier......

Zhu Sanjia took a sip and said, "What a pus-filled bag! The faces of the Ming Dynasty army have been lost by you." ”

At this moment, only the sound of a rustle could be heard, but it was Murong Danyan who changed into the clothes and armor of the officers and soldiers and turned out from behind the bushes. Although this suit is a little larger, there are no flaws in it.

Li Qiufeng said to the officer and soldier: "Don't be afraid, we have a few words to ask you." ”

The officer and several of his companions were patrolling the camp and came to a secluded place, when suddenly someone jumped out and knocked several of his companions to the ground with three punches and two kicks. He was the shortest of all the officers and men, and he was about to shout, but he was tapped by the man several times, and he could not scream, and his body was numb for a while, and he immediately lay down on the ground, and watched as the man stripped off the armor and helmets of his two companions, and threw them into a deep bush by the roadside. Then the man took him in his hand and went up the hill like a cloud. He only said that he was captured by a strongman, and he was so frightened that he lost most of his life. At this time, seeing Li Qiufeng speak, his tone was not very harsh, his heart was a little calm, and he said in a trembling voice: "Even if the hero asks, the villain must tell him honestly." ”

Li Qiufeng said: "Where are you garrisoned, what are you doing here?"

The officer and soldier said in a trembling voice: "The villain is on an errand in the Fifth Army Camp and is under the command of General Xiao, the commander of the left outpost. ”

Li Qiufeng's heart froze, and he said, "The Fifth Army Camp has arrived at Hutou Rock?

The officer and soldier were startled, shook their heads, and said, "The villain doesn't know. The villain only knew that the Fifth Army Camp had arrived here. It's just that when we drove from the capital, we didn't see the soldiers and horses of the Shenji Battalion and the Shenshu Battalion accompanying us. ”

Li Qiufeng's face was heavy, and he was silent for a while. Zhu Sanjia whispered to Li Qiufeng: "Since the Fifth Military Battalion is dispatched, it stands to reason that the Shenji Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion will also move. It's just that there are no more than 20,000 officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, and it is not like the five military camps pouring out. This thing is so weird, I'm afraid there is another reason for it. ”

Murong Danyan stood beside the two of them, and he heard them talking. It's just that what the two of them said about the Fifth Army Camp, the Shenji Camp, the Shenshu Camp, etc., she didn't understand at all, and couldn't help but widen her eyes and asked, "Brother Li, Brother Zhu, what are you talking about?"

Li Qiufeng turned his head to Murong Danyan and said, "This officer and soldier said that he was on an errand in the Fifth Army Camp. The five military camps and the Shenji battalion, the Shenshu battalion and called the three major battalions of the Beijing army, some people call it the three major battalions of the capital, is the elite soldiers and horses under the personal command of the Ming Emperor, has always been stationed in the capital, guarding the safety of the capital. If there is a change in the world, the three major battalions of the Beijing army will only accompany the Son of Heaven to march in person, and they will not be dispatched easily. As dangerous as Yong'an City, the imperial court would rather mobilize troops and horses from the two towns of Xuan and Da than not send out the three major battalions to defend the capital, and this is the reason. It's just that I don't know what the reason is, the fifth military camp actually went to Hutou Rock, which is so strange. ”

The officer and soldier didn't expect Li Qiufeng to be so familiar with the Beijing army, but he was shocked, and thought to himself: "This robber is so familiar with the Beijing army, I'm afraid that he has a big background, and he must deal with it carefully, otherwise he will be annoyed, and my life will not be saved." ”

Zhu Sanjia said to Li Qiufeng: "Since the five military battalions have been dispatched, the Shenji battalion and the three thousand battalions must be close to the left. The terrain of this Hutou Rock is dangerous, and it cannot be carried out with 3,000 battalions. However, the firearms of the Shenji Battalion are powerful, if they are attacked, no matter how tightly Shajiabao is defended, I am afraid that they will not be able to stop the attack of the army. ”

Murong Danyan said: "Why is there another 3,000 battalion, is it possible that this battalion has only 3,000 people?"

Zhu Sanjia was stunned, and then smiled: "It's my old Zhu." The girl didn't know that the Shenshu Battalion was originally called the 3,000 Battalion, which originated from Emperor Chengzu's northern expedition to Mengyuan, and 3,000 Tartar soldiers surrendered. These Tartars were all cavalry, and they were extremely fierce. After Chengzu surrendered it, he formed a battalion of his own to patrol the sentry. The 3,000 battalion has two commanders, two ministers, two military ministers, and two chief officers. Since the 3,000 battalions were subsumed into our Ming army, they have made many military exploits, and their prestige is still above the Duoyan Sanwei. Just ......"

When he said this, he paused slightly, and then continued: "It's just a change in Tumubao, the three thousand battalions, the Shenji battalion, and the five military battalions were suddenly attacked with Emperor Yingzong's northern hunting, and almost all the troops were wiped out. Later, when Lord Yu Qian rebuilt the three major battalions, the strength of the three thousand battalions was expanded, but the combat power was not as good as before. Today, Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne and renamed the 3,000 battalions as the Shenshu battalion. It's just that my old Zhu is used to screaming, and I can't change my mouth for a while, but I teach the girl to laugh. ”

Murong Danyan didn't have any interest in these army formations, and after listening to them for a long time, he still didn't seem to understand it, but he didn't care about it, but just said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, why are you so nervous when you hear about the three major battalions of the Beijing Army?"

Li Qiufeng pondered for a moment and said: "The three major battalions of the Beijing army are the emperor's pro-army, and without the emperor's order, the military department has no right to move. Since the Fifth Military Camp appeared in Hutou Rock, this thing is really strange. ”

Murong Danyan said: "What's so strange about this? Sang Liangtian's army is still stationed under Yong'an City, holding back the reinforcements from Xuan and Da Towns. In the south of Yong'an City, there are still soldiers and horses at Shanhaiguan who are ready to move, which poses a great threat to the capital. Now that Hutouyan has gathered a large number of heroes from the rivers and lakes, the imperial court suspects that someone is going to rebel, and there are no soldiers and horses available for a while, so they have to send the three major battalions of the Beijing army to exterminate these heroes of the rivers and lakes......"

She hadn't finished her words yet, but she heard Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia say at the same time: "Absolutely not!"

Murong Danyan was stunned, and was about to say more, Li Qiufeng preemptively said: "Since the Tumubao Incident, the imperial court felt that the three major battalions of the Beijing army acted rashly, and left the capital with the emperor, and fell into the siege of the Wara army, and the whole army was annihilated, resulting in the capital having no soldiers to defend, and almost overturning the Ming Dynasty. Since the Yingzong Dynasty, unless the Son of Heaven personally conquers, the three major battalions of the Beijing army will never leave the capital, and it has become customized. Slowly speaking, there are only three or four thousand heroes gathered under the Hutou Rock, that is, there are thirty or forty thousand rebels here, as long as the soldiers have not pointed to the capital, the three battalions will never move lightly. The first emperor liked martial arts, and went out to challenge the Tartar soldiers many times, and the three major battalions of the Beijing army were not mobilized on a large scale, which shows that although the first emperor was sometimes too nonsense, he did not dare to change this rule easily. ”

The officers and soldiers heard Li Qiufeng and the others speak, and they were even more frightened in their hearts, and they didn't know where these three people in front of them came from, and they were so familiar with the situation of the Beijing army. Just when he was in doubt, he heard Li Qiufeng ask: "Have the whole army of the five military camps arrived here?"

The officer and soldier shook his head and said, "Only the central army and the left and right posts came, and they were personally commanded by Admiral Guo." The left and right sides did not participate in the expedition. ”

Li Qiufeng nodded and said, "In this way, there are still more than 20,000 people left in the capital. ”

The officer and soldier nodded repeatedly. Murong Danyan didn't know what was going on, and was about to speak, but Li Qiufeng knew that she didn't understand, so he explained: "The five military camps are composed of horse troops and infantry troops. When Taizu set up the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to control the Chinese and foreign armies, the capital was placed inside and outside the large and small two fields, and 48 guards were taught. After Chengzu moved north, it increased to 72 guards. During the Yongle period, this part of the military horses was officially divided into five battalions, including the middle army, the left and right two pinches, and the left and right posts, which were called the five armies. Because of this, the battalion is called the Fifth Army Battalion. The supreme commander of the five military battalions is the Admiral and the Minister, who commands the Chinese army. The left and right sides are the infantry army, and the left and right two posts are the horse army. It's just that after the change of Tumubao, the military horses were completely lost, and when Lord Yu Qian rebuilt the five military camps, the number of horse soldiers on the left and right posts was also greatly reduced, from all horse troops to a mixed establishment of horses and infantry troops, and even the infantry army accounted for the vast majority. ”

When he said this, he turned to the officer and soldier and said, "The five military battalions are dispatched this time, how many horses and infantry are there?"

How dare the officer and soldier conceal it, and said in a trembling voice: "There are 15,000 infantry troops and 3,000 horse troops." ”

Zhu Sanjia smiled and said, "Good guy, it seems that the Fifth Army Battalion has sent out all the Ma Army troops." ”

Li Qiufeng then asked, "What are you coming to this Hutou Rock for?"

The officer and soldier said: "The villain is just a big soldier, and what the commander wants to do, naturally he will not tell us what he wants." It's just that the villain heard the legend in the camp that a group of robbers came from Shandong, colluding with the Japanese and wanting to attack the capital. When the emperor heard about this, Long Yan was furious, so he transferred our five military camps to intercept ......"

Li Qiufeng said: "Since it is to intercept the Japanese invaders, why don't you go to Shandong, but come here instead?"

The officer shook his head and said, "We don't know about this." After leaving the capital, the army arrived here, and heard that a group of robbers had surrounded it. I heard the chief say that although the imperial court sent us to the expedition, the emperor was merciful and didn't want to kill too many lives. I heard that Admiral Guo had sent someone to tell the bandits who were surrounded that as long as they surrendered, they would not kill them on a large scale. Now that the army is encircled, if these robbers do not surrender early tomorrow morning, we will attack in a big way. ”

Li Qiufeng and Zhu Sanjia asked for a long time, and the officers and soldiers turned over and over, and the content of what they said was almost the same. Li Qiufeng knew that this person was just a small soldier, and his knowledge was limited, and he couldn't ask anything if he asked, so he smiled slightly and said, "Since that's the case, then thank you very much." It's just that I have to wronged you to stay here for a while longer, and when we're done, we'll let you go back." ”

The officer and soldier were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know what Li Qiufeng meant by this, but they saw Li Qiufeng's right hand stretched out and clicked on his chest a few times. The officer and soldier were dumbfounded, their whole body was sore, they couldn't even speak, their knees weakened, and they slowly sat down on the ground. Li Qiufeng looked around, leaned over and lifted the officer and soldier up, walked behind a big tree in a few steps, put him into the grass, and then walked back to Zhu Sanjia and Murong Danyan, and said with a smile: "I ordered a few big holes for him, and they will be untied in three hours." Let's leave him alone, it's better to meet Mr. Liu as soon as possible. ”
