There was chaos in the city, and the two groups of men were at war with each other. Wu Sangui came angrily from the General Military Mansion, but was so surprised by the posture in front of him that he raised his brows.
In the military camp, the three hundred eunuchs of the Gongzi camp, with their swords unsheathed and arrows cocked, stared at Ning Yuan's army who had many more troops outside than their own. There was no trace of fear on their faces. Looking at the posture, they only waited for the two commanders to give orders. Rush over without hesitation.
Are these people still eunuchs? Wu Sangui took a breath of air. He was tall and murderous, but he was not afraid when facing several times his own number of troops. His courage alone was admirable! Even the servants behind the formation looked fierce and ferocious. The steel knives in their hands kept turning around, looking very hungry and intolerable.
"Gongziying does not stir up trouble, but it is never afraid of trouble. Whoever has the courage to cause trouble should first weigh his own weight. Although the Ningyuan Army is famous, it is just a request in front of us!" Li Tiezhu held the rein in his left hand and the knife in his right hand. A look of disdain.
Wow, la la, such arrogance immediately caused Guan Ningjun to get into a commotion, and yelled: You have no eggs, you are good at pretending, who can't brag? Come on, let's have a fight!
"If you want to fight, Gongziying has never scared anyone, just draw the line." Hu Ling sneered, secretly thinking that these Guan Ningjun were ignorant, didn't they know that Chang Yu's original intention of Gongziying in the city was to fight!
Wu Sangui, who was about to intervene to calm the situation, suddenly changed his mind, whispered a few words to a general next to him, and then hid in the crowd and watched.
Guan Ning's army has always been unruly, with eyes on his head. Although he suffered repeated defeats against the Qing army, he has always regarded himself as the number one in the Ming army, and his pride is always written on his face.
Chang Yu mocked them openly and secretly in the General Military Mansion. Those generals did not dare to make trouble in front of him. Seeing that Wu Sangui had been forbearing, he could not restrain his anger and went straight to the military camp to find trouble.
No wonder the little eunuch had to leave the city and go into the mountains when it was almost dark. It turned out that he had known that this drama was going to happen, so he left this hot potato to himself and wiped his ass!
Wu Sangui secretly scolded the young eunuch for being cunning, but he also admired Chang Yu for his carefulness in gathering information about the situation, which he was far inferior to.
It's just that... even though he knew that the words the young eunuch said in the General Military Mansion were a way to motivate the generals and inspire their bloodshed before the war, Wu Sangui still felt uncomfortable in his heart, very uncomfortable. Is my Ningyuan cavalry really inferior to you and other eggless eunuchs?
No one will accept it!
Of course it won't work with swords and guns, but you can try a fist fight to see who is the coward! Wu Sangui chuckled to himself.
The question has been asked. Chang Yu doesn't care how the person who answered the question answered. He only looks at the results, and what he is looking at now is the scenery. When he first entered the mountain, the mountain road was narrow, with grass growing on both sides, and the dense thorns, which could only allow two horses to walk abreast for half a mile. Yuhuoran is open and can accommodate five horses running parallel, but the canyons on both sides are steep.
The mountain forest was covered with white, and Fan Jiaqian led three people to clear the way ahead. On this trip out of the city and into the mountains, he selected ten good men from the eunuch army, carrying swords and bows, and each holding a crossbow, just to protect the little eunuch Zhou Quan.
Although it was windy, snowy and cold, Chang Yu was in high spirits, making jokes and pointing fingers all the way. Every time he saw game, he hit the target with an arrow. Unknowingly, he had caught a hare and a pheasant, and he couldn't help but scream with excitement.
Only Wu Zhong, who was in the rear, was holding the knife with his neck curled up and looking like he was eating shit. On this cold day with snow and snow, it was a beautiful thing in life to be warming up by the stove and drinking wine. What the hell! Looking for trouble!
Wild animals also like to come out to look for food in the snow. After walking two miles, everyone has gained a lot. They are secretly happy that the food is available tonight. At this time, the sky is getting dark, but the canyon ahead suddenly opens up.
It turns out that there is a valley in the mountain, a basin.
The bottom of the valley is uneven, with a chasm in which there are several huge rocks like millstones. Before entering the mountain, Chang Yu asked the villagers and learned that the ditch was called Grindstone Valley.
There is a stream in the ditch, and the water has frozen. The attendants are busy going down to break the ice to get water to clean the prey.
The mountain road in the valley was slippery and full of rocks, so it was not suitable for riding. The little eunuch dismounted his horse and looked up at the two hills in the west. In front of him were the peaks of Shuangshan. The larger one further to the west is Heifeng Mountain, and Taishan Peak is in the south. As for Tiema Mountain is the southernmost one. Chang Yu knew the names of these mountains when he walked around the mountain in the morning.
Fan Jiaqian came back after touring the surroundings and pointed to a forest in the south. He thought it would be good to set up a straw shed there and light a fire and barbecue for the night.
Chang Yu also thought it was good. The valley here is sheltered from the wind and close to the stream. It is indeed a good place to stay.
"Is that a cave?" Wu Zhong, who had been shrinking his neck, suddenly pointed to the west peak halfway up the mountain and squinted his eyes and muttered. Chang Yu was startled and turned his head to look around. He could vaguely see something dark in the grass halfway up the mountain. entrance of the cave.
With a wave of his hand, two attendants immediately climbed up the mountain to check.
After half a cup of tea, two attendants waved and shouted on the mountainside. Chang Yu's face was filled with joy, and he ran back and forth, calling Wuzhong: "Let's race together."
Wuzhong, I guess, has no interest in traveling around mountains and rivers, walking in the snow and looking for plum blossoms. But if you talk about fighting, drinking, fighting, etc., no one is more interested than him, and he is most dissatisfied with the little eunuch in front of him. Why are you inferior to me in fists and feet, and inferior to me in swordsmanship, yet you tell everyone that I am your loser?
The two of them rushed to the mountainside. The cheers of the attendants resounded throughout the valley. Fan Jiaqian was chopping wood with a knife on his face with a smile. Suddenly he felt that this kind of life of chopping wood and hunting was quite good. It was far more joyful and free than in the palace, and there was no need to worry about it. The cruelty of an iron horse.
But how long can this kind of life last? I'm afraid it's just one night.
Hold the grass, what a big hole!
On the mountainside, among the tangled grass, there was a cave entrance that was as tall as one person, hidden among the dead branches and leaves. If it were not for the withered vegetation in winter, it would be almost invisible. The attendants made a few torches, and the four of them entered the cave.
The cave is as gentle as spring, dry and not wet. It has a curve for twenty meters, and then it becomes wider, several feet high, wide... For a while, the firelight can't reach it, and I don't know how wide it is.
But the young eunuch and several attendants all had the same surprise in their eyes.
The hidden soldiers in this cave are a huge surprise!
The few people continued to explore the cave, and after walking for nearly two miles, they didn't reach the end yet. The widest part of the cave wall they explored turned out to be twenty meters wide. Such a large natural cave could potentially hide tens of thousands of soldiers.
After turning a few corners and walking for nearly a hundred meters, I felt a sudden wind. I knew I was almost at the end. It seemed to be a double cave entrance. Chang Yu and the others quickened their pace. After walking for more than ten meters, there was a faint light, and the cold wind was strong. , arrived at the cave entrance.
The ancient vines at the entrance of the cave were covered with thorns, and the attendant slashed them with a knife. Several people stood at the entrance of the cave and looked out, each showing a look of surprise. A mountain peak not far away lay in front of them, but it was Heifeng Mountain.
This cave actually runs through the peaks of Shuangshan Mountain from east to west. It is an excellent cave for hiding soldiers that can be attacked, defended and escaped. Chang Yu was overjoyed and shouted excitedly at the top of his voice. The sky was full of wind and snow in the deep mountains and old forests. The howling of the wolf scared the birds and animals into scattering.
