Hearing the chicken dance, Chang Yu was still in a daze, then he heard thunder rolling in the sky outside, secretly saying that it was going to rain. He got up to get dressed and opened the door, only to see the sky was dim, and Wuzhong was wielding a knife in the courtyard.
Chang Yu raised his eyebrows and watched quietly. He had used swords with him when he first met in Wuzhong, and he was defeated miserably after a few moves. But today was the first time he saw him practicing swordsmanship.
Chang Yu is good at fists and kicks, but not good at swordsmanship. He has only been trained in the swordsmanship of killing enemies and rushing into battle in the army. In front of Wuzhong, he is practicing swordsmanship without any pretense. He is unparalleled in Dakai Dahe. He secretly thinks that his father is a soldier Born, this sword skill is really passed down in the military.
"Have you tried?" Wuzhong found Chang Yu leaning in front of the door and extended a sincere invitation.
Fuck you! Chang Yu cursed and turned around to wash up. He's so stupid to play with you with a knife even if he can't beat you with his fists and kicks!
After a few punches, the sky gradually became brighter, and Chang Yu set off to climb the border city. Wuzhong Qiao Dao accompanied him, and a guard from the Santun camp acted as a tour guide. He led more than 20 soldiers to escort the young eunuch to climb the Great Wall.
The guard's name was Ding Cun'en. Tang Tong took most of the troops from the government office and went to Beijing to help, leaving only more than a thousand people to guard here. The border troops were so scarce, which made Chang Yu secretly frown. When he went to Taiyuan, he left Xuanfu and Datong can still recruit people, but now...
Going north along the mountain wall, you can see barren mountains and wild ridges, vultures and beasts. Chang Yu frowned all the way. Qi Jiguang has been operating in Ji Town for more than ten years, rebuilt and thickened the Great Wall, and pioneered the hollow enemy tower, which can be garrisoned for dozens of people. Elite soldiers, and able to store arms and food. At that time, more than 3,000 enemy towers were built on the Jizhen front, and they were defeated many times. The Waci, Tatars, and Duoyan tribes once captured the leader of the Duoyan tribe Dong Fox alive. The younger brother is bald...it can be said that he has made great achievements in battle and is the strongest line of defense for the capital.
But now, Jizhen has no troops, the Great Wall is dilapidated, and broken walls can be seen everywhere. In just forty years, the country has changed!
After two days and two nights, the attack of more than 400 miles had reached its limit. Chang Yu ordered Gongzi Camp to rest for half a day and set off again in the afternoon. But what is surprising is that the city gate has not been opened since early.
Although there were many opinions, no one came out to explain.
For lunch, the town government held a simple banquet. Ding Cun'en said it was to greet the governor and see him off, but it was not as if Chang Yu was inviting him to dinner and asking for help at the same time.
"During this period, grain and grass will continue to be transported northward, but there are a lot of thieves in the mountains. You may send troops to suppress the thieves, or you may go and say hello to those thieves. If anything happens to the grain team, I will question you. If you run away, I will kill you everywhere." Your whole family”.
The people in Dongchang spoke so directly and harshly that Ding Cun'en was restless during the dinner and his food was tasteless.
Food and grass were a big deal. Although Fang Ba's food transport team had guards, Chang Yu still had to be careful to clear a way for them in advance, just in case.
In the afternoon, with enough water and food, the chariots and horses of the palace camp lined up at the city gate to prepare to leave the city.
Suddenly Chang Yu gave an order, and the three hundred eunuch troops of Gongziying immediately surrounded the baggage convoy and searched for them with knives.
There was a cry of surprise, and a thin figure in black rolled out from under a car. The soldiers surrounded and attacked him with knives. Unexpectedly, the man rushed left and right, with a ghostly figure. In the blink of an eye, he rushed out of the encirclement and jumped onto the street. On the border houses. .
An arrow shot through the wind, hitting the thin ghost figure in the middle, and stumbled into the courtyard. Fan Jiaqian immediately led people to round up...
Chang Yu sighed and looked at his right hand. If the injury hadn't been healed, the arrow would have passed through his throat.
After a while, Fan Jiaqian came over with a disappointed look on his face and shook his head gently.
Chang Yu cursed angrily. If Kuang Ren was waiting here, the ghost would be a hedgehog waiting to be skinned.
Riding horses in the wind, the Gongziying flag flew, and six hundred cavalry headed east.
After running for fifty miles, the mountains were flat and the soil was fertile, with dense villages and towns, but we arrived at Lulong.
After only a short rest, we set off again. The governor ordered us to stay overnight in Shanhaiguan!
One hundred and twenty miles, regardless of the scenery or humanity along the way, just let the horse run wildly, Sanbaigongzi camp took the lead, and the servants were in the middle. Chang Yu suppressed his anger and walked the horse with Wuzhong, and the baggage team followed closely at the end of the formation. After a while, the baby stopped crying, the wild dogs clamped their tails, and the farmers looked at the dust in the distance with fear gradually dissipating.
Shanhaiguan is the first pass in the world. It is built between the mountains and the sea, so it is named Shanhaiguan. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, and wars have been going on for hundreds of years.
When the Ming Dynasty governed Liaodong, Shanhaiguan was the inner gate. In the Battle of Songjin, Liaodong was lost, and only Ningyuan Gucheng remained. Shanhaiguan became the northern gate of the Ming Dynasty. If the Qing army entered the customs, the Ming Dynasty would be destroyed!
Shanhaiguan is thirty miles north of Qinhuangdao, and it was close to Zishi when Gongziying passed Qinhuangdao.
In the dark night, Gong Ziying went around the north of the city. Chang Yu shouted to Wuzhong next to him, and he knew the name of Qinhuangdao.
Wuzhong looked disdainful: "During the Qin Dynasty, the First Emperor visited "Jieshi" in the east, carved "Jieshi Gate Ci", and sent Lu Sheng from Yan to go to the sea to seek immortality. He once stayed here, so it was named Qinhuangdao."
The little eunuch was surprised. Oh my god, it turns out that the real person cannot be judged by his appearance.
Master Wu rolled his eyes with a proud look on his face: "In terms of appearance, he is as inferior as the governor."
After saying this, the horse galloped wildly. Within a few meters, the horse started and Wu fell. The screams could be heard clearly for miles, and could be heard clearly in the night sky.
The little eunuch looked up at the sky, wondering why there wasn't a thunderbolt coming down.
In less than half an hour, after crossing the Stone River, a majestic beast-like city stood in front of me between heaven and earth due east. Shanhaiguan arrived.
Chang Yu took a long breath, and could vaguely hear the sound of the waves due to the east, but it seemed like the iron horse fighting across hundreds of years. There were more than a million bones in this world's first level.
A group of cavalry approached quickly with torches, but Gao Di, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, came to greet them. Before the Gongzi camp left the palace, Jinyiwei and Dongchang men and horses had already gone ahead. One was to inform various places, and the other was to establish a fast and dedicated post station. As early as yesterday, Gao Di had received news: the governor of the East Factory will arrive in a day or two.
Many people mistakenly believe that Wu Sangui was the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan in the late Ming Dynasty. In fact, this unknown but dignified middle-aged man Gao Di was.
There were two Gao Di in the late Ming Dynasty. One was Gao Di, the Minister of War during the Tianqi period. He also had a command of Ji Liao. Unfortunately, he was a jobless person. He could only run away if he could not fight well. He was later dismissed from his post and died of illness in the twelfth year of Chongzhen.
Although the powerful general in front of him is not as famous as other generals, he is also a down-to-earth figure. When Wu Sangui fought in Shanhaiguan, Li Zicheng had 10,000 troops, and he later surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Wu Sangui.
Both men and horses were exhausted, and Gao Di welcomed Gongziying into the city with sharp and surprised eyes. He heard that all the Gongziying were eunuchs. How come they were all tall, tall and majestic, wearing soft armor, carrying steel swords on their waists, and saddles? He had a bow on his lower body and two quivers on his back, with about forty quivers on his back. Although he was tired from the wind and frost all the way, his momentum was as strong as a mountain, and he was marching out with orders. It showed that the army was in strict discipline.
He couldn't help but glance at the little eunuch next to him, and secretly took a breath of air. He was actually capable of training such a team of people, and he dared to go straight out of the pass with just a few people. This shows that the rumors are not false and are not a good thing.
He looked at the young eunuch, who was looking around Guancheng. He didn't even have time to rest. After letting Gong Ziying enter the camp to rest, he would go up to the city at night to take a look at the northern gate of the Ming Dynasty.
