Chapter 1264 Nobles
/scd pt>
Juyong Pass is known as the most powerful pass in the world. It is located between steep and continuous mountains, connecting Lulong and Jieshi in the east, Taihang Mountain and Changshan in the west. The terrain is extremely dangerous, less than a hundred miles away from Beijing, and it is the northwest gate of the capital.
Since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da built a city here to defend against the Mongol Yuan counterattack, the court has continuously mobilized manpower and material resources for decades, and built Juyong Pass into a magnificent city spanning two mountains, 13 miles apart and 42 feet high. Outside the main city, there are also south and north Weng City, enemy towers, paving rooms, beacon tunnels, corner towers, and forts, forming a three-dimensional defensive fortification with three levels of upper, middle and lower levels, which can accommodate more than 10,000 officers and soldiers at the same time attack the enemy soldiers under the city. The defense power is several times that of ordinary city towers.
Moreover, the indestructible Juyongguan City is just one of the five defense systems from south to north. There are Chadao City, Juyongwai Town, Shangguan City, and five defense fortresses at the south entrance. The fortresses are built with mountain mounts, and the Great Wall is connected by a few meters high. The Great Wall is covered with enemy towers, beacon towers, and houses. After stationing enough soldiers, the enemy troops have no room to get into. Moreover, officers and soldiers of each city can be mobilized at will through the Great Wall and can support areas where war is tight at any time.
At least in this era, it can be said without hesitation that Juyongguan, which is stationed in a hundred thousand troops, is a line of defense that will never fall!
But the general of Juyongguan and the Marquis of Chengshan Wang Tong did not relax at all because of this. This veteran who had been in the battlefield for a long time was deeply afraid of Wang Xian's invincible reputation. He was food and accommodation above the city of Guancheng, patrolling the Great Wall day and night, and strictly urged his soldiers to be on guard. He would never give Wang Xianjun under Guancheng any opportunity to take advantage of.
"Mr. Marquis, the enemy has not been moving these days. You might as well take a break and let us patrol." Seeing the old Marquis' eyes turned black and tired, the generals all advised him to rest.
"I can't sleep at all." The mountain wind was fierce and the cold was biting, making the flags on the top of the city roar, and the old marquis' beard flew in a mess. "The more they remained moving, the more I was worried."
"Oh, I don't know what Wang Xian sold in the gourd!" The generals were puzzled. Three days ago, Wang Xian's army of more than 100,000 arrived at Juyong Pass. At that time, looking at the army all over the mountains, the defenders were indeed scared into a cold sweat. Many people even became deserters...
There is no way, the shadow of the famous tree, and the soldiers of Wang Xianjun can scare the opponent's pants when they stand. This is thanks to the natural danger of Juyongguan and the Marquis of Chengshan in charge, so the defenders barely stabilize their positions and are ready to resist the attack.
Unexpectedly, Wang Xianjun was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he set up a camp of more than ten miles in the open area outside the pass, and then sent people to cut trees everywhere, and construction started in the camp.
At first, Wang Tong and others thought it was normal. It seemed that the enemy was building siege equipment. It seemed that no matter how arrogant Wang Xian was, he knew that Juyongguan was powerful and did not dare to attack the city easily without being fully prepared.
However, after three consecutive days, Wang Xianjun still did not attack the city, and even the siege equipment was not built... Ju Yongguan was condescending, and he could see Wang Xian's military camp clearly.
What did Wang Xian do for a large-scale construction? It was actually used to strengthen the camp. In his military camp, the arrow towers became denser and denser, the walls became taller and thicker, and even women's walls were built. Outside the camp, the bottomless trenches were dug, with deer forts everywhere, and they were banished, and they were like they wanted to stay here forever.
I don’t know what Wang Xianjun thought. In short, Wang Tong and others at Juyong Pass didn’t understand how they thought about it. They were almost depressed...
"Are they stupid? What's the use of just cultivating camps? Why don't you attack?!" Wang Tong's subordinates really wished that the enemy would attack quickly. Even if they were bloody, it would be better than suffocating people to death like this.
"Yes, don't they know that the officers and soldiers of Datong will arrive soon?" A general beat his head hard and said, "When the army of the Duke of China is gathered, more than 100,000 troops will be blocked behind them, and they will be trapped to death!"
"What are their ideas?" The defending generals were going crazy.
In theory, if the enemy uses such a stupid move and does not attack, the defending generals should be happy, but they look worried and are about to be tortured into a mental illness.
Just because their opponent is Wang Xian. To this day, no one dares to think that Wang Xian will make a fool of himself. Even if he really makes a fool of himself, his opponent will think that it is his mysterious plan. He racks his brains to guess the real purpose behind him...
But until two days later, Datong's reinforcements led by Xu Jingchang, Dingguo Duke Xu, gathered with Duke's army, and blocked their retreat, and the tens of thousands of Wang Xianjun remained silent.
Now even Duke Cheng and Duke Ding were all confused. What kind of thing should the king do?! He didn't know, he couldn't afford to delay this war? The longer he delayed, the closer he would be to failure? Why not attack? Are you going to live in Badaling forever?
All three commanders were confused. Wang Tong tried to send someone to bypass Wang Xian’s military camp and send letters to the two princes, asking them to tentatively attack the enemy and see what the opponent was fighting.
Xu Jingchang and Zhu Yong had this intention, especially the latter, who was killed by Wang Xian in an extremely embarrassing way, as if he had entered a state of no one. If he did not redeem his merits and sins, he would definitely not be able to bear it after the war.
So, Zhu Yong personally led 20,000 troops to attack Wang Xian's army. The reason why he only brought such a few people was that the mountains in Juyongguan area were steep and the passage was narrow, so it was useless to bring too many soldiers.
When he arrived outside Wang Xian's military camp, Zhu Yong regretted coming this trip. He saw that the military camp occupied the advantageous territory, was condescending, with deep trenches and tight barriers, and was simply an iron hedgehog that could not be gnawed.
However, even though he had come, he could not give up halfway again. He didn't have to go into battle himself. Zhu Yong issued an order to attack. More than 10,000 soldiers gritted their teeth and climbed up the hillside and began to attack Wang Xianjun's camp... Before he could touch the edge of the trench, he was shot in the face by the fierce arrows and stones on the camp wall.
Wang Xian's military camp also set up a three-dimensional defense system. People can stand on the camp wall, female wall, and arrow tower, with good vision and no effect on each other when attacking. The three-story archers fired at the same time. The extremely dense rain of bullets and bows and arrows were extremely shocking to kill. They shot two or three thousand officials to the ground with one volley.
The official army had never seen such a terrifying formation. They were scared to death and immediately turned around and ran away. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.
Wang Xian's soldiers laughed, and many **s shouted in dissatisfaction: "It's so fast! I haven't felt it yet! I only ejaculated!"
"Don't run, play around! I promise not to cum in your face!"
Duke Cheng, who was on the distant mountain, saw his subordinates so badly that he heard the sound of the mountain wind, his nose was crooked and cursed: "Why did I do it all over again? I have become a siege in the city?" Zhu Yong knew very well that even if he had brought 20,000 troops on, he would not have any thought of touching Wang Xian's military camp at all. There was no need to hold it in the cold wind, so he led his army back to the camp with anger...
The Xuanda Alliance Army camp, under the protection of numerous camp tents, was the largest and most gorgeous tent of Duke Dingguo Xu Jingchang.
Four years ago, Xu Jingchang was deprived of his title due to the forced palace incident and sent to Jiaozhi to serve. However, after only staying in Jiaozhi for a few months, Emperor Hongxi was allowed to return to Beijing to recuperate... Although he was extremely guilty, he could not resist the noble family. His grandfather was the emperor's grandfather and Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan who had won half of the country for the Ming Dynasty! I was the emperor's uncle, and Xu Zengshou, who lost even his life for Zhu Di's Jing Dynasty.
Since Xu Jingchang was exiled, his mother and his wife have gone to the palace to cry all day long, asking Zhu Gaochi to send them to Jiaozhi. Zhu Gaochi was so annoyed that he could not get angry with his aunt who had watched him grow up. He could only allow Xu Jingchang to return to Beijing to recuperate on the grounds that he was not accused of being in a country and being seriously ill.
Xu Jingchang spent several years of wealthy and idle life in Beijing. When Zhu Zhanji came out of the mountain, he was appointed as the crown prince and took charge of the government. As the front pawn who charged for Zhu Zhanji, he naturally recovered his title as soon as possible and was sent to Datong as the general officer.
The so-called third generation of a nobleman was born. Xu Jingchang, Duke Dingguo, was the grandson of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and was the third generation of a nobleman. This man was extremely particular about food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if he was wearing armor outside, the clothes inside must be smoked with ambergris, and the fragrance lingered all over his body. The soldiers knew that their man was here when they smelled the smell.
However, this kind of thing, Mr. Xu naturally would not suffer from cold outside. In fact, he should go to Badaling with Zhu Yong to supervise the battle today, but Mr. Xu stayed in the camp on the grounds that he was inconvenient to interfere with Duke Cheng.
What I said is that he is fucking afraid of cold and fatigue...
In the grandly decorated tent, four exquisite warm cages are placed at all corners, with smokeless silver wire charcoal burning inside, and the heat fills every corner of the tent.
Xu Jingchang was wearing a light fur and sat on the extremely comfortable soft Western leather couch. He held the book "Huangting" in one hand and watched with relish, and from the other hand, he occasionally twisted a purple Western grape from the silver tray and tasted it with relish.
There was a short table in front of the couch, and there was a pretty Jiangnan singing girl sitting next to her, holding her pipa and singing softly to cheer Mr. Xu.
Mr. Xu was enjoying leisurely and contentment, when the tent door was suddenly lifted open, and someone walked in with the cold wind all over his body.
Xu Jingchang immediately frowned and wrapped his fur. He was about to have an attack, but when he saw that it was Zhu Yong, he sighed and said, "Brother, it's not too late to change his clothes first, and then come over."
"Hehe, I'm not as comfortable as you." Zhu Yong threw his helmet and raised his hands. Xu Jingchang's maid stepped forward, took off his cloak, took off his armor, took off his combat boots, and changed into warm shoes. After removing the burden of his whole body, Zhu Yong came to the warm cage and kept warm while burning the fire, he enviously: "Don't look at it's all dukes, brother will enjoy it much more than me."
"Haha, I'm too rewarded..." Xu Jingchang despised Zhu Yong when he heard this. He actually looked down on these upstarts in Jingnan. Even when he was a second generation like Zhu Yong, he still had a vulgarity. However, the arrogance of the nobles has always been in his heart, and you can't see it on the surface. "It's just that you don't want to be particular, I just don't want to."
"It's important to be particular, he's right, he's interesting..." Zhu Yongnuan walked over and walked over, and the singer stood up and left. He was really not particular, and sat on the stool that the singer had just made.
Xu Jingchang frowned slightly: "Let's change a chair for you." He never sat on the chairs that others had sat on, let alone a lowly singer. Seeing Zhu Yong so unpretentiously, Mr. Xu was going crazy.
