The demon clan's defeated army stopped abruptly, and tens of thousands of warriors were trapped in the Tianduan Canyon in fear.
In Huangtai Fort, the remaining human troops were unable to pursue them, but the entire battle fort was filled with joy!
Song Zheng and the other five sat down on the ground. Zhou Kou grinned and said happily: "This is such a fucking ups and downs. Scholar, did I use the word correctly?"
"No." Song Zheng waved his hands and relaxed. He felt extremely tired and just wanted to have a good sleep.
Whoosh!
The iron-smelting silver spear fell straight down and was inserted outside the main entrance of Huangtai Castle, intimidating all the demon soldiers not to act rashly. At this time, the demon army became panicked all day long. They did not dare to escape, but
I don’t even dare to face Helian Lie!
Shi Yi sighed and praised: "He is worthy of being the last famous general in the Celestial Dynasty!"
Song Zheng felt that there was a sense of despair in the title of Helianlie. Maybe the Hongwu Dynasty itself had despaired of itself. It was estimated that there would never be another truly famous general during the reign of the dynasty.
Song Zheng was a little confused: "Boss Shi, why does the cavalry general still use such an ordinary iron-made silver spear?"
Speaking of these anecdotes in the military, Shi Yi immediately became energetic: "This starts from sixty years ago. At that time, the family of the General Chariot and Cavalry fell into decline and his mother passed away. He sold his ancestral home before burying his mother. Then.
Thanks to the mercy and charity of a well-connected family member, I was able to enter the local health center and earn a living."
Song Zheng knew that Shi Yi was not talking nonsense. The generals at the guard station were expecting to earn money by eating empty wages. If one person was brought in, they would make less money, so they would not agree easily.
When he said this, Shi Yi became even more excited: "That wealthy family had a marriage contract with the family of General Chaoqi, and they wanted to marry their eldest daughter to General Chaoqi. As a result, at this time, the other party certainly wanted to
She regretted the marriage, arranged a position in a guard house for him, and then proposed to break off the engagement. However, the Jiangnan wealthy family wanted to save face, so they did not do it so straightforwardly. They gave him a generous gift, and then secretly began to find another wealthy and powerful in-law for their daughter.
But the young lady of that family was a loyal woman who would not marry anyone other than a general. As soon as the family got the news that they would find another in-law for her, she moved into the Taoist temple at home to lead her practice.
The general remained unknown for the first three years of his stay at the garrison. Because of his family's financial difficulties, his spiritual practice was delayed, and no one was optimistic about his future.
The people at the health center only saw him carrying his iron-smelting silver gun and carrying a copy of "Eight Guns of Salvation" issued by the health center, practicing day and night on the already bumpy school grounds."
He paused briefly and then continued with admiration: "Three years later, during the Spring Festival, a group of pirates suddenly came up the river and raided Jianghang City where they were. The bandits were powerful, but Jianghang City was defenseless.
The guard station was a bunch of people with nothing but wine and rice bags. By the time the court got the news, it was already several days later. Everyone in the court was filled with regret.
The pirates have always been ferocious. If the city of Jianghang is destroyed, they will definitely burn, kill and loot. The city will probably become a hell on earth. And the pirates have always come and go like the wind. When the reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived, I am afraid that they have already fled on the water.
In fact, they were more worried that Jianghang City was a prosperous place and one of the important sources of taxes for the imperial court. After being attacked by pirates, they might not be able to recover for more than ten years and lose a large amount of income.
Unexpectedly, when reinforcements from the imperial court arrived, they found that Jianghang City was safe and sound. The commander of the guard station had fled before the pirates could enter the city. The guardsmen also dispersed.
Only the cavalry general, each with a gun, organized the clan soldiers of the aristocratic families in the city, and gathered a mob numbering 1,200. They repeatedly made strange plans and killed three thousand pirates outside the city.
The general even jumped down from the top of the city alone and killed the bandit leader "Jiang Hailong" Tao Zhen with one shot.
Tao Zhen is famous in the Jiangnan coastal area. He is one of the twelve sea kings and a great cultivator at the pinnacle of the Mingjian realm. The general was just an ordinary person three years ago.
Later, according to the pirates who surrendered, the gun flew from the sky, and it was like entering an uninhabited land, and Jiang Hailong was unable to resist it until he died!"
Song Zheng had heard of Helian Lie's reputation, but this was the first time he heard these specific details. He couldn't help but raise his thumbs and praised: "What a great man! What a hero!"
"But later on, when rewards were based on merit, the general only got the position of captain, not even the general manager. The injustice of the court was evident. The general's contribution was all taken away from others." Shi Yi was indignant: until four years later
, banditry was everywhere along the coast, and the princes in the court really had no choice but to think back to the young silver-gun general who killed Jiang Hailong with one shot from Tianwai.
The general was ordered to face the danger and led a group of weak guardsmen to annihilate the experienced coastal bandits. But the general was a general. He used his limited power to deal with the pirates and secretly trained a new army. A year later
The new army was completed, and under the leadership of the general, they killed all directions. After more than a thousand battles, large and small, they finally completely defeated the pirates, eliminated the maritime troubles, and made the south of the Yangtze River clear and bright."
Song Zheng saw that Shi Yi was not excited when he said this, and asked: "Next, will it be the time for the wise princes of the court to use up their good bows and hide their talents?"
"Exactly." Shi Yi said angrily: "For such a great achievement, the court only gave him a commanding officer and sent the general to a guard station in the northwest to train troops!
Three more years later, the barbarian demon tribe from the southwest invaded with great force. The army in the southwest was retreating steadily and could not resist it. The imperial court once again activated generals to go to the southwest to kill the demons.
It only took the general three months to defeat the barbarian demon tribe and drive them back to the extinct realm, but the court only gave the general a miscellaneous way to deal with it.
Seven years later, the Shiwan Yushan Mine was in chaos, and the court could not cope with it, so it had to invite the general. The general rushed to the front with only 3,000 people, and combined suppression and appeasement. It took two years to put down the rebellion of hundreds of thousands of people.
.
The imperial court gave a county magistrate the title of county magistrate to deal with the general.
In the following decades, every time there was a mess that couldn't be cleaned up, the general finally took action. The court couldn't suppress him, and he was promoted to the rank of general of chariots and cavalry only now.
But regardless of his status, whether he was praised or criticized by the court, the general always only used this iron-smelted silver spear to show that he never forgot his true heart. Only a peerless intellect like the general could warm up an ordinary iron spear to the point where it is now about to melt.
The realm of dragons!”
He suddenly became energetic: "The happiest thing in the general's life is that when he was granted the title of Uncle Changyang and became General Zhenwu, he married the young lady from that aristocratic family.
They waited for the general in the Taoist temple for a full sixteen years. This is a good story in the Hongwu Dynasty for hundreds of years. Everyone said that the young lady had a unique discernment and could see early on that the general was definitely not a thing in the pond..."
