Following Lu Xiangsheng's order, the antlers and horses in front of the camp were hurriedly moved away by the guarding soldiers. Finally, with a heart-wrenching "creak" sound, the heavy wooden door was opened, and the Ming army camp
The door is finally open.
The troops and horses that were standing quietly in front of the camp gate like sculptures also began to move. With a loud shout, the troops and horses that were standing still began to move.
Although it was raining heavily, the troops and horses moved without any disorder. They still formed a neat formation and walked into the camp at a unified pace.
"Boom boom......"
Suddenly a flash of lightning appeared in the sky, and a bright light suddenly shone on the heads of the team, illuminating the figure of the team covered in mud, as if they were demons emerging from hell, watching the people gradually
The soldiers who walked in had expressionless and stern expressions on their faces. All the generals, including Lu Xiangsheng, were shocked. The military might of this soldier under Pang Gang was so strong!
After the team arrived at the center of the camp, the leader, a tall general wearing a bright red armor, shouted loudly: "Stop the whole army! Stay where you are!"
"All troops stop!"
"All troops stop!"
"Bump...swish!"
Following the order, the soldiers behind them stopped. Except for the sound of iron armors knocking against each other, not a single noise was made. Rows of soldiers were already standing in a neat formation, patting each other.
As the queues were arranged, the burly general at the head dismounted and walked through the mud to Lu Xiangsheng, Gao Qiqian and the other generals. His eyes were wide open. His eyes were as bright as lightning in the crowd.
After glancing in front of him, he walked a few steps in front of Lu Xiangsheng and knelt down on one knee. He clasped his fists and said loudly: "I am reporting to Governor Lu, the last general to be the right governor of Nanjing, General Dingguo, and the commander-in-chief of Shandong East Road, Pang Gang, has been ordered to lead the army."
Five thousand soldiers and horses came to report as scheduled, please give instructions to Governor Lu!"
Pang Gang's voice was loud, loud enough for Lu Xiangsheng and the dozens of soldiers, staff generals and other generals behind him to hear clearly. Lu Xiangsheng glanced at Pang Gang, who was wet but still imposing, and secretly thought in his heart
It's amazing that after a year of absence, this little Qianhu of the past has turned into a general who can't be underestimated. It seems that he needs to reconsider his attitude towards Pang Gang.
However, Lu Xiangsheng's thoughts only flashed by. He smiled slightly and said to Pang Gang: "Haha, Chaodong, it's hard for you to come all the way. Come on, come on, I'm about to meet the new supervisor Gao Qiqian Gao Eunuch.
"
"Oh!" Pang Gang took advantage of the situation and stood up. He turned his sharp eyes. Then he noticed that there was a tall eunuch in light blue eunuch clothes standing next to Lu Xiangsheng.
He looked at himself without blinking, with a slightly unhappy expression on his face.
"Is this Gao Qiqian?" Pang Gang was startled for a moment, and then he carefully looked at the proud eunuch in front of him, then he cupped his hands towards Gao Qiqian and said, "I have seen Eunuch Gao at last.
!”
Gao Qiqian had a bad impression of Pang Gang due to his preconceptions, but now he saw that Pang Gang had saluted Lu Xiangsheng while standing and saluting to himself, and looked indifferent, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
He stood up, laughed sinisterly a few times and said: "So you are Pang Gang. The emperor often mentions you. Our family has long admired your name in the palace!"
"Don't dare!" Pang Gang said calmly: "I have long admired Eunuch Gao's name. I can really use the phrase "no one in the world does not know you" to describe Eunuch Gao."
Pang Gang is telling the truth. In later generations, anyone who has read a little bit of Ming history will have heard of the name Gao Qiqian. Pang Gang has also been famous for a long time. Now that he saw the real person, Pang Gang looked at him a few more times.
, of course, there was no "admiration" in his eyes, and seeing such a look in Gao Qiqian's eyes made him even more angry.
Gao Qiqian said gloomily: "General Pang, the Tatars invaded our territory. The emperor was worried about this and summoned a large army to come to serve the king. All the generals arrived, but the general arrived late. Why is this?"
Pang Gang felt uncomfortable when he heard this. He had obviously arrived on time, but this dead eunuch seemed to be unyielding. He didn't seem to have sinned against him. What did he want to do here?
Pang Gang's face also darkened, and he said coldly: "Eunuch Gao, today is the eighth day of April, and it is also the last arrival deadline given to me by Governor Lu. I asked myself that I did not arrive late. I don't know.
What does Eunuch Gao mean by this?"
In anger, Pang Gang did not even use the self-effacing title of "final general", but changed it to the word "Official Officer". This title is only used when colleagues are at the same level or when superiors refer to themselves as subordinates.
, the intention is everyone can see it, Gao Qiqian is not an idiot, so he will naturally hear it clearly.
"You...you're brave!" Gao Qiqian, who had always been used to doing whatever he wanted, heard Pang Gang's sarcastic words, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he roared loudly, with a sharp voice.
Miraculously, he became hoarse, pointed at Pang Gang and trembled: "You...how dare you be disrespectful to our family!"
Pang Gang shook his head, "Eunuch Gao, you can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. When have I been disrespectful to you, please point it out!"
"You...you..." Lanhua pointed at Pang Gang and was so angry that her whole body was shaking and she couldn't say a word.
Lu Xiangsheng saw that it was not good, so he quickly came over to stop Pang Gang and said, "Okay, Chaodong, you just arrived and got caught in the rain. There is still open space behind the camp, so you should quickly find a place to set up camp. After you are done,
Come back to the commander's tent and see me."
"Yes, I will obey your orders!" Pang Gang cupped his fist at Lu Xiangsheng, put his feet together, turned the toes of his right foot with the heel of his left foot as the axis, and made a 180-degree turn backwards, facing the people behind him.
He shouted loudly: "Everyone is here, turn right, step in unison...go!"
"Boom boom boom..."
Following Pang Gang's order, thousands of stationary soldiers marched towards the back of the camp in neat steps, like horses that suddenly exerted their strength. Behind these soldiers were neat and orderly soldiers.
The cart was pushed by the heavy soldiers. Looking at the neat formation of these soldiers, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but praise: "It's as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as plundering as fire, and as motionless as a mountain. I didn't expect Chaodong's talent in military training."
It’s so amazing!”
At this time, Yang Guozhu, the commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu, also praised: "The last general heard that in the past, Grandpa Qi was transferred to Jizhou to train troops. Feeling that military law had been relaxed in recent years, he transferred 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers. During the heavy rain, 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers were
It was placed in the outskirts of the country. From the first day of the dynasty to the end of the day, the plant did not stand still. The border troops were greatly frightened, and then they learned about the military order. Normally, the generals always thought that this was made up by future generations, but today they found out that it was indeed true and there were indeed soldiers.
It seems that General Pang has the demeanor of Grandpa Wei back then.”
"Hmph! It's raining so hard, let's go back to the tent to change clothes first!" Hearing Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Guozhu praise Pang Gang in unison, Gao Qiqian snorted coldly and walked towards his tent, but when he walked towards him
While setting up camp, the heavy rain suddenly stopped. This scene made all the generals stunned.
Pang Gang led his soldiers and horses towards the back of the camp. Only then did he realize that the camp with nearly 100,000 troops was huge for miles. Countless tents were set up densely, but there was no order. Pang Gang frowned secretly.
Endless.
Pang Gang walked for a long time until he came to a forest behind the camp. Only then did he find that there was an open space that was still empty. He immediately ordered the soldiers to start setting up tents. With the order, a thousand heavy troops accompanying the army immediately began to unload their trucks.
The tents and other items were unloaded from the car, and another thousand soldiers began to bury pots to make rice. Another thousand soldiers went to the woods and started cutting down trees to build tents. The remaining troops began to guard the surroundings, and everything was in full swing.
It's so orderly.
In fact, Lu Xiangsheng said in his letter that he asked Pang Gang to lead 5,000 troops to help, but Pang Gang was not so rigid as to only bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to help. In addition to a battalion of 5,000 regular soldiers, there were also 1,000 soldiers.
There were heavy baggage troops and more than a thousand personal soldiers, a total of more than 7,000 people.
When the heavy troops set up the barracks, they naturally set up the tent of Pang Gang, the supreme leader. They moved very quickly and completed the tent in less than two seconds. Pang Gang walked into the tent and changed into a clean suit.
He took off his clothes, wiped his armor dry and put it on before he came out and led his soldiers towards the Chinese army's tent.
As the commander-in-chief of the entire army, Lu Xiangsheng's tent was naturally located in the center of the entire army. When Pang Gang led dozens of soldiers to the Chinese army's tent, he happened to see a general coming out of the tent. After seeing him, Pang Gang
He just stepped forward to stop him and said, "Brother Liu, you're fine!"
The visitor was slightly startled when he saw Pang Gang, and then smiled bitterly: "Brother Pang, it turns out it's you."
The person who came was none other than Liu Zeqing, the former Shandong Commander-in-Chief. After being defeated by Pang Gang, he was almost dismissed from his post by the furious Chongzhen. Later, Yang Sichang, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, asked for mercy and transferred him to Henan as the Commander-in-Chief.
Seeing Pang Gang here, Liu Zeqing couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness in his heart. He didn't know whether he should be grateful to him for showing mercy on the battlefield, or resent him for driving him out of Shandong.
Pang Gang hugged Liu Zeqing's shoulders and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother Liu, we were really helpless last time. If I hadn't led the troops to resist, I'm afraid Governor Yuan would have learned from our mistakes. In order to save our lives, I have no choice but to
I offended my brother."
"Alas..." Liu Zeqing smiled bitterly. He knew that Pang Gang was telling the truth. Judging from the situation at that time, if Pang Gang had not resisted, he would have probably died after being escorted to Beijing.
Damn, it's not unusual for him to do what he did in order to survive. Dogs will jump over walls when they are anxious.
"It's okay, brother, I understand your difficulties. Governor Lu and Eunuch Gao are waiting for you inside. Come in quickly, but be careful!" Liu Zeqing sighed, patted Pang Gang on the shoulder and left. (.
