Donghongmen, Zhengbaiqi Camp. Accompanied by the sound of drums, everyone is devouring steamed buns with soy sauce meat.
Two steamed buns bigger than fists, sandwiched with half a kilogram of soy sauce meat, left everyone's mouths full of oil and satisfaction.
The previous resentment because there was broth in those two flags and there was no broth in my own camp has been subsided. How can broth be eaten as delicious as sauce meat?
Not to mention, one pound of soy sauce meat per person! After eating half of it, you can take the other half with you to replenish your energy later.
Yaerjiang's and several others took a bite at noon. Seeing that everyone was enjoying the food, Ninth Brother also came directly with half a steamed bun and stuffed pork ribs with sauce.
The big, firm steamed buns were filled with meat-flavored pork elbows. Even though it was only half of a bun, it was as big as an adult's fist. Brother Jiu ate himself to the fullest.
Yaerjiang doesn't like to eat pork elbows or pork heads. When he saw that there was also sauced sausage, he just put the sausage in the steamed buns.
Brother Ten was full at noon, so he picked up a few pieces of soy pig heart and tasted it. The drum beat was coming to an end, and everyone had eaten about the same.
In addition to the three princes and princes, the chief and deputy, there are another 200 people in each banner. The troops have been assigned before, 66 people follow the ninth prince to fight the siege, 66 people follow the tenth prince to guard the camp, and 68 people follow Ya Erjiang'a went out to seize the camp.
Except for the soldiers guarding the camp, who had not mounted their horses, the other two teams had already mounted their horses. Brother Jiu came over this time and brought two pairs of cotton armors, one was a golden prince's cotton armor, and the other was a blue cotton armor.
Now leading the three-banner team, he put on golden cotton armor. The top of the cotton armor was a cashmere sweater, wool trousers, armor and leather gloves, all of which were also padded with cashmere hats and gloves.
In this way, let alone two hours outside, even half a day would not be cold. Brother Jiu also wore a cashmere scarf around his neck.
He held a five-power bow in his hand and a long sword on his waist. The guards and guards selected to surround him were all outstanding in riding and shooting.
However, Brother Jiu knew his own weight. When the drums stopped and the hunting was about to begin, Brother Jiu raised his arms to ask everyone to be quiet.
Then, the ninth elder brother raised his voice and said: "Khan Ama's grace, I have given you a heavy reward for today's hunt, half a year's salary. I know my skills, and I can't be very powerful, but I want to say something, if we hunt and get something good, I will not receive my half-year salary. I will give it directly to everyone on the field to share the emperor's grace!" More than sixty riders immediately burst into cheers.
Baylor's annual salary is 2,500 taels of silver. Half a year is 1,250 taels of silver. When divided equally, it is still only 20 taels of silver!
For ordinary armor, this is another half-year's salary! Chunlin cheered from the side and said: "Master Jiu can provide the money, and leave the efforts to the slaves!" As soon as he took the lead, the others followed suit one after another to express their determination.
One said: "Master Jiu, just take a look!" The other said: "Master Jiu will sit here and wait for the minions to win the championship!" When picking up the surrounding men, Brother Jiu besides himself brought two cavalrymen, Erhe and Chunlin. Out of the crowd, they even picked a military guard who was in his forties.
The man's skills were extraordinary, and Sheng had followed Nanyuan on the siege every year, so he was familiar with the terrain of the siege. Brother Jiu named that man as the captain, Erhe and Chunlin as the deputy captains, and said to the three of them: "I'll leave it to you. Yes..." The three of them agreed in unison.
The team of sixty-six people was divided into three teams in an instant. Three people each led a team. Chunlin's team was the vanguard and rushed out directly to drive the deer back to the southern boundary.
Erhe's team was divided into two groups, and the two teams went to the east and west borders. The captain fanned the remaining people into
Separate and advance slowly.
Not only the hunting team of Zhengbai Banner is like this, but the hunting teams of the other two flags also have similar patterns.
On the viewing pavilion, Kangxi and Si Age, each with a thousand eyes, were looking at the situation in the paddock.
"There's nothing new, it's all the same..." Kangxi said with a picky tone. In this way, the outcome would be difficult to predict, and it would depend on luck.
The fourth elder brother said: "The tactics are more cautious. Baotai and the ninth elder brother are not good at commanding, so marching like this will ensure that there will be no mistakes." Kangxi said: "It is a little less sharp..." The candidates for each banner to attack and defend the hunt, It has been spread to the imperial court.
Just by looking at the color of the flag, you can tell who is leading the army. The fourth prince looked towards the direction of the yellow flag. The eighth prince also made the same arrangement, and did not ask for a big advance.
There really isn't much to see in the first half of the hunt. Looking at the back, whichever flag has more deer and fewer escaped prey will have a greater victory.
Half of it depends on luck, and half of it depends on the level of archery skills. At this moment, the three camps have also ushered in the teams to seize the camp.
Outside the Zhengbai Banner camp, there is the Xianghuang Banner team led by the elder brother. Outside the Xianghuang Banner camp, there is the Zhengbai Banner team led by Yaer Jiang'a.
This is different from what the eldest brother expected! But the eldest brother doesn't know it at the moment. He is dividing the team into left and right wings and plans to attack together.
Because there is no need to prepare for the opponent's breakout, and there is no need to keep men and horses to besiege, just start the fight. At the Zhengbai Banner Camp, the 10th Prince has already set up two lines of defense.
One level is a wall of thorns, and the other level is a horse trap. Although it may hurt the horse's legs, since it is a war this time, we can't care about that.
It is necessary to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Outside the camp with yellow flags, Yarjiang'a has stood still and is looking at the third elder brother who is guarding the camp from a distance.
There are archers on both sides, so the distance is a little too far to avoid being within the shooting range. According to the rules, if the soldier is shot once in the head, chest, and back, or if he is shot in other places more than three times, he will be shot.
"Killed in action". So is the mount, three times on the head and abdomen
"Dead in action." The third brother felt a toothache. Didn't this guy say he was guarding the camp? Is there a butthole under his nose?
Why don't you keep your word? You're treacherous! Pretending to be a suspicious soldier! However, the third elder brother was not afraid. He waved his arm and behind the shield soldier came
"Dang rang rang rang",
The sound of the rattle made everyone feel tired after hearing it, let alone the horses. The team with the white flag was immediately confused due to this noisy and noisy sound.
When the Seventh Brother came over with the Zhenghuang Banner men, he saw the confrontation between the two sides. He did not step forward, but immediately turned his horse's head and led everyone to the center of the paddock.
Twenty of the men and horses he led were guards of the palace, and the remaining sixty were soldiers of the Zhenghuang Banner.
No one asked anything, they all followed the orders. Baotai was still waiting for manpower to drive away the deer. Seeing Brother Qi leading a large force over, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "Brother Qi, what are you..." Qi A Brother replied simply: "The Xianghuang flag and the Zhengbai flag are attacking each other, let's join forces to fight the siege first!" Baotai reacted and immediately said: "Okay! Okay! Okay!" It was an unexpected surprise!
Although the three flags are used for encirclement, the paddock designated by each flag is not very large, but it is only twenty or thirty in radius.
There were about sixty people driving around to hunt, which was completely different from the over a hundred people. As the deer whistle sounded, the team dispersed, driving the deer in all directions, and gradually surrounded them again.
On the viewing pavilion, Kangxi and Si Age could clearly see the black deer herds with yellow flags.
, obviously more than the white flags and yellow flags.
Kangxi was dissatisfied and complained to his fourth brother: "Look, everyone knows how to run rampant and doesn't know how to use their brains. There are three parties on the field, and they don't have any precautions!" People are close and distant.
In Kangxi's eyes, he naturally hoped that the eldest brother would win. If the eldest brother didn't win, it would be Yarjiang'a.
Baotai originally thought he was just making up the numbers, but he didn't expect that the situation would be reversed in a blink of an eye.
"Let's not talk about it in the paddock. After the combined forces are stronger than those two flags, when the hunting is over, the two flags' camp battles will be similar. By then, with more than a hundred men and horses, who can win or lose?" Kangxi continued.
The fourth elder brother did not expect this result. He said: "Eldest brother and Yarjiang Atai won." The two of them only thought about defeating the strong with the strong, not the overall situation of the battle.
Kangxi shook his head and said: "Too reckless, he can only be a general, not a commander." The fourth elder brother saw that the siege team of Zhenghuang Banner had surrounded him, and praised: "The seventh elder brother is decisive and makes a decisive decision..." Kangxi continued to watch, After a while, he said: "The seventh elder brother is indeed good and has a strong mind. If it were you, he might not be as good as him in his situation." The fourth elder brother was also quiet for a while and said, "It's all thanks to the kindness of Khan Ama." In other dynasties, such a naturally imperfect prince would have been abandoned long ago.
Although the seventh prince was sent out of the palace when he was a child, he was brought back after going on a hunger strike. Using unfilial means like a hunger strike to coerce his parents, let alone the royal family, may not work even for ordinary people.
In the end, the emperor's father relented first and did not risk his son's life. He took the seventh prince back to the palace and did not hold him accountable for his unfilial piety.
When Kangxi thought of this past event, he felt a little sad and said: "I thought that was the best arrangement at the time..." If a disabled prince born from a concubine can succeed the prince, what is it but grace?
Even with a normal grant, a person like the seventh elder brother would not be granted the title of Prince Heshuo. The fourth elder brother said: "The seventh elder brother is filial and affectionate." Kangxi said: "You are all people of Amma, so you should understand what I mean. It’s a painstaking effort.” The fourth elder brother said: “My dear, I pity the weak...” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have doted on his youngest son one after another.
While the father and son were chatting, the news spread in the paddock. Whether it was the attacker or the defender with the yellow flag and the white flag, the four groups of people got the news one after another. They knew that the yellow flag had a bye and had no opponent!
Outside the camp with yellow flags, Yarjiang'a sprinted twice and received two lessons. More than sixty people
About ten people were "lost in the battle". Of course, the defenders with yellow flags were not left behind either.
Almost all of his men were "lost in the battle". Yarjiang Ah Zheng was impatient, and after hearing the news about Zhenghuang Banner, he didn't take it to heart.
In his opinion, there is no point in chewing the cartilage. But the third elder brother felt that this was not the case. He shouted loudly: "A moment of truce, a moment of truce!" Yarjiang'a didn't want to pay attention to it, and wanted to charge again. , I heard horseshoes
There was a "da da" sound, and a team came from behind. As soon as Yarjiang Agang called people to be alert, he saw dozens of horses roaring towards them.
It was the eldest brother who led the men with the yellow flag to return. Yaerjiang Ah was thinking about whether to take the team and escape.
They were all cavalry, and more than sixty cavalry could not surround the sixty cavalry. The eldest brother raised his voice and said: "The tenth brother said, there will be a truce for two minutes!" Only then did Yaerjiang sit firmly on his horse and did not lead his men to escape. .
Suddenly, outside the camp with yellow flags, the two teams faced each other from afar...
