After asking, Chang Yu reached out and took out some broken silver and handed it to several Jinyiwei spies: "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. Go to the field to buy some wine to drink." He truly felt that these spies who licked blood from their swords had worked hard and rewarded them.
The Jinyiwei spies were overjoyed. They took the money and thanked Chang Yu one by one. Even though Chang Yu had already walked away, the gratitude on their faces had not faded. There was nothing they could do, Eunuch Chang would be a good person.
Back in front of the team, Chang Yu called Tang Potian, Cheng Ming and five or six people from thousands of households, and sat around the fire while eating and chatting. He clearly pointed out the loopholes in the march and specifically proposed that no manpower should be arranged for duty in the previous rest period.
He warned that if something like this happened again, he would be held accountable and would not be lenient. Seeing the murderous look in the eyes of Chang Yu, who was always smiling, even Tang Potian, who had the best relationship with him, couldn't help but shudder.
It is impossible to eat a lot of fish and meat for a marching meal. In this era, rice porridge is already good. But fortunately, Chang Yu, the powerful prisoner in the palace, secretly brought a lot of bacon, dried fish and porridge from Shangshan prison, which was not possible.
As for being too bland.
"Master Wu, haven't you eaten?" Chang Yu looked in the direction of the silver car, but Wu Mengming had not yet shown his head.
"Mr. Wu ate in the car," Wang Jiaxin, a member of the Jinyiwei family, said quickly.
Chang Yu couldn't help but have some anger on his face, put down his bowls and chopsticks and walked towards Wu Mengming's car.
Wu Mengming happened to get out of the car and seemed to be going to relieve himself. When he saw Chang Yu, he was startled, then he clasped his fists and said hello with a smile.
Seeing his sleepy look, Chang Yu became so angry that he raised his foot and kicked the silver car next to him. The clang sound frightened Wu Mengming and also attracted the attention of other soldiers.
"Mr. Wu, the wind and frost have been too hard on the road, and I can't sleep well in the bumpy car. It would be so comfortable to go back to Beijing and warm the bed at home now!"
"What did Eunuch Chang say?" Wu Mengming was startled and there was a look of displeasure on his face. After all, Chang Yu acted like this in front of so many people, which made him a little embarrassed: "It's bitter cold on the road and nothing happened. How can I cause trouble after sleeping?"
Mr. Chang”
Although Wu Mengming was unhappy in his heart, he was still more tactful in his words. After all, Chang Yu had a special status and was a popular fried chicken. Even though he was a close confidant of the emperor, there was still a gap compared with his confidants. What's more, this was the God of Wealth. No matter what,
You can't break your face.
Chang Yu also made that move in anger just now. Seeing Wu Mengming's embarrassed and unhappy look, he realized that he was a little disrespectful to the other party, so he said hey and approached Wu Mengming: "Master Wu, you can sleep with me, money."
You can also take it, but you have to do things, so along the way you don't care whether something goes wrong, are you responsible or am I responsible?"
"Here, what could happen?" Wu Mengming didn't react for a moment and was stunned.
Chang Yu sneered: "This is not the capital. No one treats us as uncles. There are even many people who want to treat us as grandsons. Of course it would be best if nothing happens, but what if?"
Wu Mengming finally woke up a little, and when he saw Chang Yu also gave him a step, he clasped his fists and said, "It's true what Eunuch Chang said, you really need to be careful at this time." He said that he still disagreed in his heart, you like to accompany those soldiers
Danzi drinks the cold wind to win over people's hearts and builds archways. Why do you have to win over me? I don't value those false names except money.
With enough water and food, the soldiers rested for a while and took care of their mounts. Chang Yu then gave the order to set off, asking everyone to cheer up and go as fast as possible.
Wu Mengming didn't know whether he was embarrassed to hide in the car after being scolded by Chang Yu or because he couldn't sleep anymore because he slept too much. For the first time, he didn't get into the car and rode with a few of his confidants.
As we entered the mountain, the wind became less strong, but the chill remained. Moreover, the mountain road was rugged and the horses could not run because the axles could break at any time. After all, the carts these days were all made of wood.
The mountains are high and the forests are dense. Although there are spies in front to explore the road and there are heavy troops on the side, the pay and silver are not ordinary, so we can't be careless at all.
Wu Mengming rode on horseback and chatted wordlessly with his left and right. He looked around at the barren mountains, jungles and trees, and then turned to look at Chang Yu hiding in the car. He felt a little resentful in his heart. He was talking about me, himself.
Isn't it just for enjoyment? It's damn cold here...
After a few more miles, the road became even more difficult. When Wu Mengming was bored, he suddenly noticed several people looking at him from a distance on the hillside in front of him.
"Send someone to ask."
Not long after, Jin Yiwei came to report: "There is a village in the mountains to the north called Yao'er Village, and those villagers are woodcutters."
"Yao'er Village, hey, I wonder if there is any Yao Sister here?" said a person next to him, and everyone laughed.
After driving for several more miles, Chang Yu, who was swaying and thinking about things in the car, fell asleep without realizing it.
When I woke up again, I was woken up by Chunxiang violently smashing the window. I heard the noise around me in a daze, and I felt uneasy and even a little panicked.
"Brother Chang, it's not good, it's not good, there are thieves attacking" Chunxiang shouted outside, mixed with Wu Mengming's roar: "Eunuch Chang, Eunuch Chang..."
Damn it! Chang Yu was shocked. He was really afraid of what he was going to do, and what he was worried about was what he was going to do!
He took the mountain armor given to him by Chongzhen and put it on his body: "Where is this place and how many people are there?"
"There are so many thieves in Yantong Mountain, countless of them, all over the mountains and plains...Fighting has already started in front..." Chunxiang was so nervous outside the car that he could hardly speak clearly.
Chang Yu hurriedly put on his armor, jumped out of the car and jumped on his horse. Fang San had already handed him the long plain knife.
"Eunuch Chang..." Wu Mengming drove his horse over in panic.
Chang Yu had no time to pay attention to him and quickly scanned around. It was indeed a good place for an ambush. The mountains were high and steep, the woods were dense, the roads were narrow, and there were many turns.
Looking at the hillsides on both sides, the thieves were setting up bows and shooting arrows. The Tengxiang Guards led by Cheng Ming in front were fighting back while retreating. Fortunately, there were not many archers on the other side, so they were able to withstand it for a while.
Looking back at the back road, fortunately it was not blocked. Maybe it was because the thieves were not strong enough? Thinking of this, Chang Yu once again looked at the thieves on the hillsides on both sides. At first glance, it was indeed quite bluffing. This was actually a visual illusion.
, the opponent was in a condescending position, and was in the forest, which gave people a visual impact and made them feel like a large army was pressing down on the situation. In fact, looking at it, there were definitely no more than two hundred people!
He really has the guts!
Chang Yu somewhat admired the courage of these thieves. Two hundred people dared to rob a team of a thousand people. You think it was during the Anti-Japanese War that a few Japanese soldiers with guns could occupy a county town.
But then I thought about it, and felt a chill in my heart. Isn’t this the reality? It seems that there is no difference. Looking at the soldiers around me, whether they are the eunuch army or the Jinyi Guards, their faces are full of panic, and even the Tengxiang Guards who have experienced actual combat are also saying:
Retreating.
"Master Wu, lead the imperial guards to protect the silver chariot. Tang Potian, lead the palace guards and retreat back. Don't be surrounded!"
Chang Yu made a decision after taking a brief look, and then said: "Chunxiang took the brothers in the palace with me and went to the front to resist. These thieves have not been captured yet. Today is the day when our brothers in the palace will become famous in one battle."
"International".
When Chang Yu dispatched his troops, he did not forget to inject chicken blood into his subordinates.
Sure enough, seeing their boss being so calm, the eunuchs who were in a panic just now immediately became much calmer.
"Brothers, follow me and kill these thieves like the gangsters in the capital!" Chang Yu shouted, and he was the first to rush towards the front line with a knife and a horse.
Wu Mengming was relieved when he heard that Chang Yu asked him to guard the silver car. This is the safest place. There are Tengxiang guards in front and Fujun guards in the back. It won't be that easy for thieves to get over.
After hearing the order, Tang Potian immediately ran towards the return road with his men. While assisting Wu Mengming to escort the silver car back, he grabbed the advantageous terrain and at the same time protected the thieves on both sides from rushing over.
At this time, the Tengxiang Guards led by Cheng Ming were already retreating. The thieves fired arrows from a high position. Although there were not many, they were very lethal and suppressive. However, his men and horses had neither shields nor longbows, so they were injured.
There were so many men that they had to retreat.
At this time, he happened to meet the eunuch army who came forward, but Chang Yu was wearing a helmet and armor and he didn't recognize it for a while!
"Do you know the background of the other party?" Chang Yu shouted, and Cheng Ming finally recognized him and said quickly: "Back to Eunuch Chang, the background of the thief is unknown, but he is a tough one." He handed over an arrow.
Chang Yu took it and took a look, feeling horrified and helpless. This was a standard arrow, which meant it was used by the army.
So it’s hard to say where the thieves came from. Maybe they were poor people who turned into bandits, maybe they were defeated thieves, or even defeated officers and soldiers. Of course, it’s not ruled out that they got armaments from the officers and soldiers. After all, soldiers and thieves are not good these days.
distinguish.
But at this time, there is no point in pursuing the origins of these thieves, but no matter who they are, they should be killed, and they dare to rob even their wages. They must be extremely bold, and there are only more than 200 people. They are really confident.
"You stay in the center and defend the front. Chunxiang and Jiang Quan take action!" Chang Yu shouted. In fact, Chunxiang and others had already taken over without his order.
The eunuch army is the best equipped in this team. In addition to hand crossbows and bows and arrows, each one of them has cotton armor. As long as they don't get shot in the head by thieves, there is no problem.
Therefore, Cheng Ming immediately mobilized his men to get out of the way on both sides, allowing the eunuch army to use bows and crossbows to suppress the traitor shooters on both sides. He turned his attention to the front of the mountain road, because there were people and horses approaching vaguely ahead.
The eunuch army fired all their bows and crossbows, and the situation suddenly changed. The bandit archers didn't have many archers to begin with, and they only relied on the terrain and dense forests to gain an advantage. However, as the three hundred eunuch army fought back, they were immediately suppressed.
However, these thieves were also very shrewd. They relied on the dense forest to release cold arrows from a distance, and shot people first and horses. The eunuch army had few casualties, but in the blink of an eye, more than ten horses were shot and wounded, and they were so shocked that they ran around and injured many people.
.
But this method no longer poses much of a threat to the team as a whole. Without the threat of the archers, the thieves' individual swordsmen and axe-hands did not dare to rush down. Perhaps they did not receive the attack order. At this time, Chang Yu's attention had already been
Focusing on the front, the villain and protagonist finally appeared.
