Chapter 372

Lingyu and the Flying Tiger Army came to the gate of the Hongyang Guard Camp with Qi Zongqi, and the sentry said, "Qi Zongqi, when did you lead the cavalry." Qi Zongqi said: "They are reinforcements from the capital, open the door quickly." The sentry said: "I'm sorry Qi Zongqi, if you come alone, I can let you in, and I can't open the door if you come with an unknown army." Qi Zongqi said: "Then you should quickly go and inform the commander, and say that the commander of the Jinyi Guard is here." The sentry heard this and hurried inside.

After a while, Gao Huaijun, the commander of Hongyangwei, came to the door in person and asked, "Qi Zongqi, you said that they were brought by Master Zhang, the commander of Jinyiwei." Qi Zongqi said: "Lord Zhang has now been named the general of the Flying Tiger of the Metropolitan Governor, and he can dispatch military horses from all over the country. Gao Huaijun said: "Open the door quickly." The soldier opened the door, Lingyu walked over and jumped off the horse and said: "General Gao, we are the light cavalry Flying Tiger Army that went to the border pass to retreat from the enemy, we are already sleepy and tired, people want to sleep, horses need to be loaded, you hurry up and arrange it." ”

Gao Huaijun said: "You are Lord Zhang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard." Lingyu said: "Exactly, it's like a fake." After speaking, he took out a brocade guard waist card and showed him. Gao Huaijun said: "Don't be surprised, Lord Zhang, my subordinates don't mean that, please come in." After saying that, he ordered his subordinates to quickly arrange the accommodation of the Flying Tiger Army.

Lingyu followed Gao Huaijun to the barracks command hall, and Gao Huaijun said: "Lord Zhang, your brigade is stationed outside the city. Lingyu said: "This is all the men and horses of our light cavalry Flying Tiger Army, we don't have grain, grass and heavy tents, so we came to disturb you, you have to supplement us with two days of dry food, and the horse's essence should also be matched." Gao Huaijun said: "My subordinates will ask someone to do it." Lingyu said: "It's best to do it overnight." We're leaving tomorrow morning. Gao Huaijun said: "It will definitely be done." Lingyu said: "General Gao." You hurry up and do it. I'm going to rest. Gao Huaijun ordered a soldier to take Lingyu to rest.

Gao Huaijun also walked out of the hall to arrange for the fireman soldiers to make dry food, and happened to meet Qi Zongqi, Qi Zongqi said: "Lord Gao, what are you going to do so late." Gao Huaijun said: "The general asked us to replenish each of them with two days' dry food. After a pause, he said, "You really saw the seal of the Grand Duke." Qi Zongqi said: "What you have seen with your own eyes can still be fake." Gao Huaijun said: "You said that he took this man to retreat from the enemy, are you joking?" Qi Zongqi said: "No, there are a total of 251 people, including Lord Zhang, all of them are officers, and it seems that everyone is strong in martial arts." I used to hear that the current commander of the Jinyi Guard made the adult's martial arts world-famous, and he didn't believe it in his humble position, thinking that he was just relying on his power to show off his might, but when I saw it tonight, I realized that Master Zhang was a real master. Gao Huaijun said: "How powerful is he?" Qi Zongqi told him about Lingyu's landing on the city wall. After hearing this, Gao Huaijun said: "No wonder he took so few people to retreat from the enemy, no matter how strong the city is, it can't stop them." After that, he hurried to arrange to make dry food.

The next morning, Gao Huaijun asked the Huotou Army to make a sumptuous breakfast for the Flying Tiger Army, everyone had a full meal, and replenished two days' dry food, and everyone brought some of the horse's essence, and the fifteen military horses with the fodder were left to the Hongyang Guard Battalion. The big and small officers in Hongyang Wei came to visit Lingyu. After Lingyu was polite to everyone, he told everyone to lead the troops carefully to protect the safety of this side. Lingyu saw that everyone was cleaning up. He and Gao Huaijun said goodbye to them, and led the Flying Tiger Army out of the city to continue to march towards the border pass.

Lingyu They ran and rested, seeing that it was about to be noon, Lingyu ordered everyone to stop and rest and eat dry food, everyone finished eating dry food and drank water, rested for a while and was just about to set off, Zhang Yang Qianhu looked up and looked forward, only to see the dust in the distance ahead, and exclaimed: "Lord Zhang, there seems to be a soldier marching in front." When everyone heard the sound, they looked forward and saw that the dust was flying, and sure enough, it looked like a soldier in action.

Lingyu said: "I don't know who the army is, Chi Qianhu, Zhang Qianhu, you two and Wade go to investigate." The three of them all said that they respected their orders, and after saying that, they urged the horses to gallop forward. The three of them urged the horse to run for a while, and saw the flag of Daming from a distance, but the arrangement was very messy.

Chi Qianhu and the others ran closer and closer, and saw that it was indeed the army of the Ming Dynasty, like a defeated army fleeing for their lives. Wade knew several generals in front of him, including Yao Hongtao, the commander of Butu Muwei, Liu Mingguo, the commander of Hulang Tuwei, and Yang Guangyao, the general soldier of Dehua.

Yang Guangyao saw that three horses were running towards him, and he immediately ordered to stop the advance and prepare for battle. It wasn't until I got closer to see that it was the messenger Wade, and then I was relieved. Wade got off his horse and saluted a few people when he got close: "See General Yang, General Yao, and General Liu." Yang Zongbing said: "Don't be polite, where are the rescuers you moved in?" Wade said: "The rescuers have arrived." Yang Zongbing said: "How is it possible, how can tens of thousands of troops arrive in such a short time." Wade said: "The army has not arrived, first come a light cavalry Flying Tiger army, led by the Flying Tiger General Zhang, the capital governor." Yang Zongbing said: "Have you been bribed by the enemy to deceive me, how can the Ming Dynasty have any position as the governor of the capital." ”

Chi Qianhu said: "Lord General Soldier, what Wei Xiaoqi said is true, General Feihu is specially appointed by the emperor, and he can dispatch soldiers and horses from all over the country, and Lord Zhang is the commander of Jinyiwei." Mr. Yang said, "Who are you?" Chi Qianhu said: "Humble duty is the prosperity of thousands of households." General Yang said: "How many soldiers and horses do you have in the Light Horse Flying Tiger Army?" Chi Changsheng said: "We have a total of two hundred and fifty-one people. After hearing this, Mr. Yang laughed and said, "It seems that my Ming dynasty is in danger." Chi Changsheng said: "Why did the chief soldier say that." Yang Zongbing said: "A Jinyi guard commander to take charge of the country's soldiers and horses, but also brought more than 200 people to the border to retreat the enemy, is it not ridiculous, he thought that the Mongolian Tatar captives are those few corrupt officials who have no power to help the chicken, let him arrest and arrest, he has already been named a product Taibao, this is a special product of the metropolitan governor, can it be that the Mongols can be scared by high grade." ”

Lingyu rushed to the front and said: "What General Yang said is right, you can't scare the enemy with your grade, wouldn't it be better to invite the emperor if you can." Yang Zongbing said: "Who are you, how dare you talk like this." Lingyu said: "You can't see who I am, right?"

At this time, the Flying Tiger Army also arrived, and it turned out that Lingyu saw that Chi Qianhu and they had not come back for a long time, so he ordered the Flying Tiger Army to advance, and his horse was one step ahead.

Yang Zongbing said: "You are a person from Jinyiwei. Wade said: "Lord General Bing, this is Lord Zhang, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the current Metropolitan Governor Feihu General." General Yang sat on horseback and clasped his fists and saluted: "See the governor of the capital." The other generals were also busy saluting. Lingyu said: "Generals don't have to be polite, hurry up and talk about the battle situation." General Yang said: "There is no war situation, we have lost three cities, and we are defeated." Lingyu said: "What's going on in the end, is it that our Ming generals are too poor, or the enemy is too fierce, why is it so vulnerable." ”

Yang Zongbing said: "It is all poor management, coupled with the enemy's fierce and scheming, the enemy has long been premeditated, and has already sent spies into the city, and when their soldiers attack the city, they killed the gatekeepers from the city, opened the city gate and let the enemy enter the city, so that the army was defeated again and again, and three cities were lost in a row." ”

At this time, the spies from behind came to report and said, "Lord Commander, the enemy has 30,000 troops chasing after him, and it is only ten miles away from here. (To be continued......)
