The bandit leader was killed, and was ambushed by the archers of the Gongzi Camp. He suffered heavy casualties. In panic, he scattered in panic, and the fire in the mountains to the south slowly disappeared.
The crisis was over, and the soldiers of Gongziying secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not dare to relax their vigilance, and instead became more cautious.
In the tent, Chang Yu stared at Wuzhong: "The bandit leader was tall and tall, and he was from the frontier army. He was rich in actual combat. You killed him in three breaths. The governor suddenly remembered, did you let it go when you assassinated me?"
Wuzhong shook his head: "At the beginning, I was too humble and too careless to underestimate the enemy. I thought your governor was no good. If I had known that the governor was good at fighting, maybe with all my strength..." Then he smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid that even with all my strength, I may not be able to achieve success.
The governor is far from comparable to that bandit leader."
Regardless of whether he was praising or insulting, the young eunuch suddenly smiled and patted Master Wu on the shoulder: "In a year at most, I will convince you of your defeat!"
Master Wu rolled his eyes: "Fisting and kicking may be possible, but playing with knives, Lord, let's go play in the mud."
Damn it! The little eunuch kicked Master Wu out of the tent. Go play in the snow.
Nothing happened all night.
At daybreak, the wind and snow continued unabated. The snow on the ground was no longer up to the feet. Everything was white. The mountains and forests in the distance looked like ink. The little eunuch stood by the river, always thinking about cutting ice to fish alone in the cold river.
The servants made food to feed the horses, and the eunuch army persisted in morning exercises despite the wind and snow. Chang Yu took Wuzhong to look for game trails in the mountains and forests. After all the hard work, he was sweating profusely, but he also gained something. He peeled the skins, washed them, and put them away.
Roasted on the fire.
The aroma of the meat overflowed, making everyone salivate after hearing it, especially the master Wu who was very close. Seeing that the little eunuch was eating deliciously, he refused to invite him to share it with him.
What are you looking at? If you want to eat it, hit it yourself, the little eunuch teased.
Wuzhong swallowed hard: "If you are humble and not good at bowing, the game will run like flying and you will not be able to catch it!"
"You want to join the army with me and make great achievements, but you can't control a horse or draw a bow. How can you make great achievements? Are you shameless?"
The little eunuch rolled his eyes.
Master Wu finally understood what the little eunuch meant, stood up and shouted: "You humble me and go practice archery!"
Ningyuan City, town government.
After breakfast, Wu Sangui, who was returning home after inspecting the city, sat at the table drinking tea, with several subordinates sitting around him whispering.
"Hunting rabbits in the forest, killing thieves in front of the battle, charging into the battle and swallowing mountains and rivers like a tiger, who dares to underestimate this little eunuch?" Wu Sangui sneered and raised his eyes to glance at everyone.
All the generals had a cold look on their faces, bowed their heads and said nothing.
"Don't wait to make trouble again. The top priority right now is to defend the enemy. The Qing army has arrived in Fuxin. Although the snowstorm can delay its march, what is coming will eventually come. In the past few days, I have been focusing more on the city defenses.
”.
"I will obey the order." Everyone nodded.
The little eunuch should have arrived by noon today at the latest. Wu Sangui held up the teacup and glanced at the snowy sky outside.
Gongziying arrived much later than Wu Sangui expected.
Although Suizhong is only a hundred miles away from Ningyuan City, the road was blocked by wind and snow, and it was not until mid-afternoon (two o'clock in the afternoon) that we reached the city several miles away.
Ningyuan, an important border town, has gone through countless bloody storms over the past century, covering a radius of ten miles, and is covered with withered bones.
When they were near the city but not yet in sight, a group of horses came from the front to report that Liaodong Commander-in-Chief Wu Sangui led his troops to greet them. Upon hearing this, Chang Yu immediately drove his horses forward, and from a distance he saw a group of people approaching quickly in the wind and snow.
.
Handsome! So damn handsome! When he first saw Wu Sangui, Chang Yu couldn't help but cheer!
Historical records record that Wu Sangui was of mixed blood from the north and the south, and could be called a handsome man: "Sangui has huge ears, no beard, looks forward, and has dignity like a god. General Yanling is beautiful and handsome, good at riding and shooting, his body is not very big, but his courage is unparalleled. Shen Birds of prey are resourceful and enjoy themselves by being romantic."
He is not tall in stature, but his handsome looks are no different from Zhu Shenxuan's handsomeness.
"Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, respectfully welcomes the governor." Wu Sangui dismounted, and the rest of the army followed him.
Chang Yu did not dare to be negligent and dismounted hurriedly: "I have heard about General Wu's reputation for a long time, but when I saw him today, he was so elegant that I have never seen him before in his life."
"The governor is so complimentary, even the general never thought that the governor is so young and extraordinary, so handsome among people, he is really respectable." Wu Sangui is also a master of flattery.
The two mounted their horses and walked side by side, chatting and laughing happily. The young eunuch secretly looked at this most famous military commander in the late Ming Dynasty from time to time, feeling quite emotional in his heart.
He came from a family of military generals, and his biological mother is unknown. His father, Wu Xiang, was the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou, and later married his ancestor Dashou. The two families became more powerful in Liaodong. In the later period, he held the most sophisticated troops in the Ming Dynasty and commanded the wind and rain in Liaodong. It is not an exaggeration to say that he was a local emperor.
At present, the most sophisticated Guan Ning cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of Wu Sangui, and the most controversial general of the Ming Dynasty is right in front of Chang Yu.
When the invaders broke through Datong, the imperial court ordered Wu Sangui to abandon Ningyuan and return to the pass to rescue the capital. Wu Niuni was reluctant. Soon after he entered the pass, he heard that the invaders had captured Beijing and that Emperor Ming was dead. Surrendered and sent people to ask Dorgon for help. He was known as the "Begging Master" in history.
Later, the bandits went to Shanhaiguan and fought a bloody battle with Wu Sangui. When the battle situation was unfavorable, he went to Dorgon in person to ask for help. The regent took advantage of the danger and forced Wu Sangui to surrender, otherwise he would turn a blind eye and never intervene.
Wu Sangui had no choice but to surrender and had his hair shaved on the spot. Dorgon was overjoyed and married his son Wu Yingxiong on the spot. Prince Pingxi, who later had his penis cut off by Wei Xiaobao that year, was only eight years old and Princess Jianning was only three years old.
Not only is his appearance outstanding, but his military power is also astonishing. He once led more than ten servants to rush into the enemy camp to save his father. Whether he fights alone or goes into battle, he is a leader in the army, and no one can match him.
What kind of person was he? The little eunuch's heart was filled with turmoil. He was a military commander who held heavy troops and defended the small city outside the pass. He was a military commander who could influence the fate of the Ming Dynasty. He was a traitor who was scolded miserably in history.
We finally arrived at Ningyuan City, a small city outside the pass but not that famous.
It is far from as majestic and tall as imagined. It is a small square city with a height of about eight meters and a circumference of only six or seven miles. Everything is extremely simple and unpretentious.
But this small, inconspicuous city became the most serious thorn in the side of the Qing army.
In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Nurhaci led 60,000 troops to attack Ningyuan. Yuan Chonghuan, Mangui, and Zu Dashou defended the city with more than 10,000 troops and won the battle.
In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Huang Taiji's battle with Ning Jin failed again!
At that time, the Ming army had the superiority in firepower, but now the Qing army has invaded in large numbers. They have many soldiers, many people and strong horses, and their firearms are not inferior to the Ming army, or even better. This time, Xiao Tai supervises the battle, who will win!,
Gongziying entered the city and immediately stationed in the barracks. The Wu clan people gathered around and talked endlessly. Everyone was surprised that this murderous cavalry was actually all eunuchs. Although they were mocking them, they also secretly admired them. In terms of physique and so on The eunuchs are burly, tall and heroic. They are all mounted on high-headed horses. They are well-equipped. They carry swords and arrows on their backs and are armored. They are all like gods. They don't look like the obedient slaves in the impression, let alone the sinister and eccentric eunuchs in the original army. So disgusting.
A banquet was held in the General Military Mansion to welcome the young eunuch. All the generals of the Wu clan came to the table to accompany him. After being introduced one by one, everyone took their seats and exchanged cups.
The young eunuch had never been fond of drinking, but he broke the rule and refused to drink any toast from the generals. After three rounds of drinking, his face turned red and his ears were hot, and the world was spinning. How could he handle the strong wine from the north?
All the generals looked at each other and smiled. Wu Sangui had no expression on his face and had been sizing up the young governor. He was in a high position at a young age and was favored by Emperor Ming. He certainly had means. He was good at fists and kicks. He was not afraid of life and death. He was a brave leader when he was overseeing the battle in Taiyuan.
Of course, I heard that he was cruel and murderous, and people gave him the nickname "Butcher". Is it really the harmless young man in front of him with a smile on his face, or is it that the rumors have changed across mountains and seas.
"I heard that Lord Governor is unparalleled in fists and kicks, so I have the guts to see the Lord Governor's peerless elegance," a general said during the banquet, and everyone booed.
Wu Sangui smiled and said nothing.
The young eunuch smiled broadly, looked at the general and said, "Is it possible that I want my supervisor to show you a drunken fist show?"
"The Lord Governor is actually good at Drunken Boxing. The general is ignorant, but he is lucky enough to have his eyes opened." The general said with a smile, not knowing whether it was true or not.
The little eunuch sighed and rolled his eyes: "Are you going to be a juggler at the front door of the governor?"
Don't dare, don't dare, the generals quickly said seriously.
"Forget it, I won't argue with you if I am happy today." The little eunuch straightened his body: "I am not good at drinking. I am already drunk at this time. I can't play even if I want to, but..." He pointed to the deputy chair
Wuzhong, who was devouring his food, said: "That guy is the governor's attendant, and he is also a defeated general. If you have the courage, you can challenge him. Anyone who defeats one of his moves will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."
One hundred taels is not a small amount, and Wu Sangui changed his face and turned his head away. The generals took advantage of the wine to get drunk, and they were gearing up one by one.
"Supervisor, if I win, can I also win the hundred taels of silver?" Wuzhong licked his lips and stood up.
"We treat everyone equally, right Mr. Wu?" The little eunuch looked at Wu Sangui and smiled innocently.
Wu Sangui secretly cursed a bastard and dragged me into the water, but there was a slight smile on his face: "What the governor said is, let's do this, I will add another hundred taels, each based on his ability, whoever wins will get it." (To be continued.)
