He Huchen took He Renlong forward to see what was going on ahead.
Although the two men were both named He, they were not related. He Renlong was from Mizhi, Shaanxi, and He Huchen was from Baoding Prefecture, North Zhili. However, He Huchen admired He Renlong and personally promoted him from the army.
"Damn it, we discovered this first. According to the rules, we have to take 30%." One guard yelled at another guard.
The Ming army's battalions adopted the camp and sentry system. Generally, there were five people in a team, two teams were called teams, three teams were called teams, three teams were sentry, five sentries were called generals, and five generals were called battalions. Each battalion had 3,000 soldiers.
This is the camp and sentry structure of the Ming army in the south. There are few changes in the north, but the overall structure is the same.
The two sentry officers at the front had a dispute, which alarmed their respective superiors.
"What you discovered, blind Chen, did you see with one eye, the left eye or the right eye?" the guard on the opposite side immediately mocked.
Chen Shoubei is a one-eyed dragon. He was shot out of one eye while fighting with the Alxa people in Helan Mountain. At this time, when he heard Wang Shoubei mocking him, he became furious. They say that hitting someone does not slap someone in the face, and scolding someone does not expose their shortcomings. Wang Xiangdong is a bastard.
He was so humiliated that he pulled out the knife with a clang.
Immediately, both sides drew their swords. A dazzling sword light shone, and the atmosphere became unprecedentedly tense.
At this time, the Ming army, especially the soldiers who adopted the recruitment system, had a very complex source of soldiers, and there were all kinds of people. Many fugitives who had committed crimes joined the army one after another in order to avoid being pursued by officials. They waited until the limelight was over and became deserters.
Although the officers are all transferred from the hereditary officers of the guard, they have deeper disadvantages, their internal organs are black, they drink the blood of soldiers, eat empty pay, and take credit for everything. In order to compete for interests, they often fight with each other.
things.
At this time, such a large sum of money was encountered. According to the unspoken rules, all officers and soldiers of the unit that discovered it first could get 30%. The rest went to the public and was then distributed step by step according to the official rank. Such rules are mainly to increase the enthusiasm of the soldiers for robbery.
If, after a long time, a fat sheep is caught and all the officials are divided, who will try their best next time? So these upper-level officers all know that they must give some sweetness to those below.
In fact, each of these two troops has more than a hundred people, and they serve as vanguards on the left and right in front of the large army to prevent the enemy from ambush. After all, there are ravines here and it is easy for ambushes to happen.
In fact, both sides discovered it at the same time and rushed forward immediately. These officers and soldiers were unable to kill the enemy. They were not suffering from night blindness when they went into battle, even if they were blindfolded. But when they found the treasure, their eyesight was better than that of an eagle.
"Stop it, I've turned against you." He Renlong roared, and the mess below, with both sides waving knives around, immediately stopped.
"See the Lord of the Town." Hundreds of people immediately knelt down to pay homage.
He Huchen coughed, looked at the two guards below with cold eyes, and cursed: "You are useless. A few dozen camels, plus some extravagant money, will make you unable to open your eyes. Look at your little potential."
Come back and get twenty military sticks each."
During the march of the army, they secretly left the predetermined route of the vanguard and rushed to the middle road to snatch goods. This matter is not big or small. To be more serious, it is disobedience to military orders. The Lord of the town can kill them. I heard that it was just
Military sticks, the two guards secretly wiped their sweat.
The Lord of the Headquarters raised it high and put it down gently. He put some money into the military stick and screamed a few times, and it passed.
I saw more than 30 camels on the ground leisurely gnawing on the dead grass on the roadside, and they seemed to have no feeling for the camel owner. More than 20 corpses were lying on the ground. Many pieces of silk were scattered on the ground.
Three boxes, locked with copper locks, were placed quietly on the ground.
It looked like it contained silver and valuables. He Huchen motioned to He Renlong to go over and take a look. He Renlong stepped forward, and the others quickly backed away. Everyone knew that General He Shen was a confidant of the town, and they almost confiscated his adopted son.
He Renlong came to a red lacquer box and pushed it with his hand. It was very heavy. The weight was probably silver.
He took a step back, took out the mace from behind, and smashed it against the copper lock. With a bang, the copper lock shattered. He Renlong opened the box directly.
Suddenly, under the evening sun, flowers bloomed in the box, which was filled with fifty taels of silver ingots. Suddenly there was a sound of breathing around. Then He Renlong opened the second box, which was also full of silver ingots.
He came to the third box and kicked it with his feet. He was about to continue smashing it open. Suddenly, the box was kicked and moved.
"Hey, it's so light. There's no silver inside." He Renlong said strangely. He moved it with his hands and picked up the box. There was a banging, banging sound inside.
"What is this? It's still moving." He Renlong became curious and put the box on the ground. He smashed the copper lock with a mace and opened the box.
At this time, He Huchen seemed to have thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly: "Human Dragon, don't touch that box."
Unfortunately, it was too late. The lid of the box was kicked open, and with a sudden roar, a mass of black stuff flew out of the box and immediately flew in all directions.
"Yeah!...Yeah!" These black things rushed up into the sky, and only then did they see that they were a group of crows, somehow packed in a box.
The crow's cries of "wow-wow-" are rough and hoarse, which is very unpleasant to hear. Therefore, it makes people feel desolate and boring, and is considered an unlucky bird.
"Crossbowman, hurry up and shoot these flat-haired beasts down for me." He Huchen yelled.
The soldiers immediately bent their bows and set up arrows, and shot toward the sky. Several crows fell down, and a lot of feathers fell from the sky. Unfortunately, there were many crows released. In this quiet evening, the crows were very loud.
Far.
This kind of unpleasant sound is very penetrating and spreads very far.
Seeing that it was too late to shoot down the crow, He Huchen suddenly changed his expression and shouted: "Stop the march and set up the formation immediately..."
Before he could finish his words, the desolate horns of horns were heard from the ravines on all sides. Countless Mongolians, carrying scimitars, rushed over from all directions, shouting and killing.
Bunotaiji and a middle-aged man stood on a high hill and looked ahead nervously. Fifteen tribesmen rushed towards the 4,000-strong Ming army.
"We have enough numbers to be able to defeat these Ming troops." Bunotaiji stuttered nervously.
Since the last time he was in Duolun, he was annihilated by An Sanxi and was redeemed by his brother Bu Shitu with 5,000 strong cattle. He has been frightened by the Ming army.
At this time, the tribes in the western part of Ordos saw that Ningxia Town troops were pressing down on the border, so they appointed Jinong's younger brother Bunuo, the famous dandy, as their commander. With the help of Urigeng Daiji and others,
Ambushed the Ming army here.
"Don't worry, they only have 4,000 people, while we have 9,000 people. The other two routes, He Huchen's son He Zan and his younger brother He Cheng, are thirty miles away from each other. This is not thirty miles of flat land. There are ravines here.
It's not easy to come over to support them. It's enough for us to eat them," Wu Rigeng replied.
