Drive, drive, drive, in the late night and windy cold, on the official road in the direction of Jiaocheng, three hundred cavalry galloped in the cold.
Chang Yu must supervise the battle on the front line when the war starts tomorrow. From a public perspective, this is his duty. From a personal perspective, he is extremely eager to see what the war of this era is like and what the strength of the rebel army is.
Of course, what's more important is that Tomorrow's main focus is on cheating. He is a veteran in this area. Li Yan, Niu Jinxing and the gang are all good people. With him here, at least they will not suffer secret losses, and Zhou Yuji and others will also feel at ease.
When Chang Yu arrived in Jiaocheng, it was already early in the morning, and he could already feel the atmosphere was different before entering the city.
Under the watertight warning, there is a looming murderous aura!
The troops on the east road have been withdrawn, including the 5,000 mobile troops temporarily stationed in Nan'an Town, who have also withdrawn to Jiaocheng to rest and recuperate.
The county government office was brightly lit. Although it was already one or two o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yuji and several of his subordinates had not yet rested, and were discussing something around the sand table.
"In the face of absolute power, all strategies are in vain." Chang Yu walked into the lobby, took a few sips from the teapot and said with a smile: "But in the face of equal power, whoever is scheming enough and who is scheming enough has a greater chance of winning."
Zhou Yuji looked at Niu Yong, Wang Yongkui and others laughed. From the time they met this young eunuch, they never felt that he was a gentleman. In terms of cunning and cunning, he couldn't think of anyone else who could compare to him.
It was daybreak, and at this time in the past, the soldiers would start their morning training and be extremely noisy. Today, it was unusually quiet.
Even Chang Yu, who always gets up early to exercise, sleeps until he wakes up naturally. His Sanbaigong font also does not have morning training.
Sleep naturally, eat well, sleep well, and stay in the best condition. This is the unified military order issued by Chang Yu to the entire army last night.
I don’t know if God will give Chang Yu a meal today, but one thing is for sure, it will not give him a good look.
Chang Yu, who walked out of the room after washing, couldn't help but shiver and looked up at the gray sky: "Is it going to rain or snow? Hey, any of you who have arthritis, please feel it."
Duan Wuhu, Zhou Tianpeng and others who were devouring breakfast in the yard laughed loudly: "Mr. back to the factory, our bodies are in great shape and we can't feel it."
After the meal, on the street inside the south gate of Jiaocheng, three hundred palaces were lined up neatly. Chang Yu looked at them with a solemn expression and said: "There will be a battle to be fought today, with real swords and guns that will bleed and kill people.
Our family will definitely take the field when the time comes. As for you, we will not force anyone to volunteer. Those who are willing will join us in fighting the enemy, and those who are unwilling will not be held accountable."
After speaking, Chang Yu looked at them coldly. These three hundred people were composed of Fujun Guards, Tengxiang Guards and eunuchs. Among them, only Tengxiang Guards had actually been on the battlefield, or rather Tengxiang Guards had been on the battlefield.
As for the experience of the battlefield, it is still unknown whether this group of people have never been there.
So to be precise, almost all of them are rookies who have never been on a real battlefield.
"I am willing to follow you on the battlefield to kill the enemy!"
Three hundred people shouted at the same time, and the sound was not small, which attracted the soldiers on duty in the city to raise their heads and look sideways.
Chang Yu smiled slightly, but the expression on his face did not change, because he knew that these people's hearts were clear. First, it was his job as a soldier to go out to kill the enemy. Second, who dared to say not to go out at this time!
To be honest, I just keep an eye on them.
At ten o'clock, the wind was biting and biting at the top of the city. Zhou Yuji and Chang Yu stood side by side looking south. The soldiers and followers behind them all looked solemn.
"It's snowing," Zhou Yuji stretched out his hand and said softly. Chang Yu looked up at the sky, where the snow was so small that it was almost invisible.
This kind of weather is very annoying. If you want it, come to a big one. At least it can alleviate the drought. It is always this kind of neither soft nor hard, which makes people not happy and uncomfortable.
Several fast horses galloped from the wilderness in the distance and soon arrived at the city gate.
"Report to your lord, more than 30,000 bandits have arrived in Wuling Village!"
Chang Yu and Zhou Yuji looked at each other after hearing this. They couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little disappointed. They accepted the surrender and dispatched 30,000 troops. It was self-evident that they were on guard.
"Is there a banner with the character Li?" Chang Yu asked.
"Back to the factory, sir, yes!" Tan Ma said.
The faces of Chang Yu and the two of them lit up. It seemed that Li Zicheng had come in person. It was not surprising that there were heavy troops. The other party may not be taking targeted precautions.
Soon, in the vast wilderness in the distance, a dark cloud appeared between the sky and the earth, slowly getting bigger and bigger, and the bandit army was almost visible!
Huh, Chang Yu clenched his fists. He was a little nervous. Anyone who sees this kind of scene of a large army approaching the situation will be nervous! The visual impact of thousands of troops approaching is far beyond what later 3D movies can bring.
Shocking, not to mention the majestic murderous aura, it is quite courageous to be in the scene and not have weak legs.
I took a secret look at Zhou Yuji beside me, and saw that his expression was calm, but his fists were also bent, which showed that his heart was also turbulent, but he had seen this kind of scene many times, so his momentum was stable.
"Send the order to leave the city." Zhou Yuji raised his right hand, and a soldier behind him turned his head and shouted towards the lower part of the inner city.
The south city gate opened wide, and Niu Yong came out first, followed closely by more than 10,000 soldiers slowly forming an array 200 meters outside the city.
As soon as the array was set up, the thieves over there were already two miles away from Jiaocheng, and the sky was covered in darkness. The pressure really made people's hearts beat in their throats, and they could jump out at any time. Only then did Chang Yu realize
The difference between facing bandits and facing the regular army, facing the pressure of a hundred people and the pressure of ten thousand people is simply a world of difference.
The rebel army stopped and looked around two miles away. Among the thousands of troops and horses, nearly a hundred flags were fluttering in the wind with great momentum. Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and saw that there were many flags in the Ming army formation below the city. Among them were Zhou,
Niu, Wang, etc.
It looks very impressive. When will I do it all? Chang Yu secretly made a decision in his heart, is it better to be a Chang or a Gong?
Just when he was distracted, several fast horses ran out of the bandit formation. Niu Yong immediately sent people forward. After the two sides exchanged a few words in the middle, they went back.
"General, the traitor invites you to see me," the messenger from the city shouted loudly, holding his head high.
Zhou Yuji nodded slightly and turned to look at Chang Yu: "Eunuch Chang, I'll go first."
Chang Yu smiled slightly: "I'm afraid there will be no hidden arrows today. General, please be mentally prepared."
"Then let's fight openly and see who's better." Zhou Yuji laughed and headed down the city.
Bang bang bang, Chang Yu clenched his fists, looked at Zhengnan's face turned pale and said, "Fuck him" and then left the city.
On the west side of the city gate, there are three hundred men and horses of palace name, wearing helmets and armor, with bows on their backs and swords across their backs, and they are waiting on horseback.
Chang Yu walked down from the city. Chunxiang took his horse and took the mountain armor to help him put it on. Fang San came over with the simple knife in his arms: "Mr. Factory, I have been grinding all night, and I can sharpen iron like this."
mud".
"Why do we have to cut iron when we have no time? This is for cutting our heads." Chang Yu joked, everyone burst into laughter, and the original nervous mood was relieved a lot.
"Then chop off the head like a vegetable, it's sharp enough anyway," Fang San giggled.
Chang Yu took the knife, held the head of the knife and blew on the blade: "Drink the blood of the traitor today!"
The two sides were no more than two miles apart. Zhou encountered more than a dozen of Jishuai's personal soldiers. They charged into the formation on horseback and headed south slowly. They stared at the few people walking out of the opponent's formation, their expressions becoming increasingly ugly.
Li Zicheng didn't come!
Here are Li Guo, Li Yan and Niu Jinxing
As expected, things were not that simple anymore, and Zhou Yuji felt a chill in his heart.
"General Zhou is looking good today." The two sides were five meters apart, reining in the reins. Li Guo smiled slightly and clasped his fists at Zhou Yuji: "After today, we will be colleagues with the civil servants of the court, and we will get closer to each other in the future."
Zhou Yuji glanced at him expressionlessly, then looked behind him and said calmly: "General Li brings such people, it doesn't feel like they are surrendering, but they seem to be slaughtered."
"General Zhou is joking and thinking too much. The peace talks in Taiyuan have won General Zhou's surrender. This is a big deal. This is a grand gesture and has no other intentions!"
Li Guo smiled.
"It's too grand, I can't afford it," Zhou Yuji laughed.
"Since General Zhou said this, Li is also curious about something." At this time, Li Yan finally said: "As far as I know, your troops in Jiaocheng are no less than 30,000. May I ask about the other troops?"
"The Prime Minister of the City," Zhou Yuji said calmly.
Oh, Li Yan nodded slightly and asked: "Since he surrendered, why didn't the soldiers dismount and the soldiers didn't abandon their weapons?" He looked at Zhou Yuji's rear and sneered: "Instead, he was fully armed, with bows, arrows and shields in front, the cavalry in the middle, and the infantry in the middle."
This is an attack formation at the rear of the palace. Please clear up your doubts, General Zhou!"
"No doubt it can be explained." Zhou Yuji snorted: "Isn't this why I haven't surrendered yet?"
"What? Is General Zhou going to renege on his word?" Li Guo's face changed and suddenly darkened: "Is it your intention or the intention of King Zhou and Cai Maode?"
Zhou Yuji laughed loudly: "General Li, don't panic. According to the previous agreement, I will only surrender after accepting the imperial edict from King Chuang."
Hearing this, Li Guo's face softened and he turned to look at Niu Jinxing.
Niu Jinxing took out a letter from his arms and handed it to a follower beside him.
The entourage dismounted and carried the book to Zhou Yuji's horse.
Zhou Yuji took the letter and unfolded it, looking at ten lines and showing no expression on his face.
"King Chuang has done everything he can to help you. General Zhou can now let your men and horses leave the city and abandon their weapons."
Niu Jinxing stared at Zhou Yuji and said.
"Not going into the city?" Zhou Yuji asked with raised eyebrows.
"After this, all that is needed is for General Zhou to gather his troops outside the city and abandon their weapons." Li Yan's eyes were bright.
"Throw away all the weapons. Could it be that General Li asked me to follow you and charge into battle with my bare hands to conquer the world?" Zhou Yuji said with a smile on his lips.
Li Guo and others' hearts sank, and their breathing became heavy. Zhou Yuji's behavior had revealed his true colors.
The worries of my father and General Li were unfounded. The Ming army was really playing a chess game and pretending to surrender, just to delay time.
"Zhou Yuji, you..." Niu Jinxing was about to yell harshly when he suddenly saw the military formation behind Zhou Yuji disperse and a group of people and horses approaching quickly.
Li Guo and others were frightened and hurriedly reined in their horses and turned around. At this time, a group of people and horses came quickly behind him!
