Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 289

Naturally, Zhu Yixi didn't know the situation in Yangzhou. Right now, he was fighting against the huge Chuang army outside the city of Xi'an.

The situation on the battlefield seems to be going in an unfavorable direction.

Chuangjun, who had relatively sufficient food and grass, lived happily in the camp, burning fire from time to time, and constantly provoking.

On the other hand, the Ming army continued to exercise restraint at the request of King Yu.

It was freezing cold and the snow was fluttering.

The most important thing is the grain road.

Li Zicheng lived and learned, had the advantage of military strength, and constantly harassed the food roads, trying to cut off the food and grass of the Ming army.

However, what Chuangjun didn't expect was that as an auxiliary soldier for transporting food, it actually had combat capabilities.

"Damn it!" Wang Chunqing looked at Chuang Jun who was full of unwillingness and gradually receding, gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers, hold them back, or we will die so many people in vain."

Now, everyone's desire for military exploits was instantly aroused.

In terms of numbers, the peasants were about 2000 people, while the cavalry was only a few hundred. The cavalry who retreated after the attack failed only fueled their spirits.

And more importantly, according to the latest regulations, a trip to transport food only has half a point of merit, and if the counterattack is successful, it will be counted as an encounter and counted as two points of merit.

This is four acres of land, you must give it a go! !

Wang Chunqing took the lead, overturned the grain cart in one fell swoop, and ran forward four or five steps, as if he wanted to resist with his body.

He wore a simple iron shell on his cotton robe, and gray cotton trousers on his lower body. He was holding a spear, his face was flushed from the cold, and his eyes were shining.

"Breakthrough, don't run away if you have the ability, if grandpa gets scared, it's your old man, Sleeping Nun."

Under his leadership, all the civilian husbands showed their heads, and their blood was also ignited. Regardless of the dirty blood on the ground, they couldn't wait to rush forward.

"So brave, I don't know how to live or die."

Chuang Jun, who turned his head and ran away, was stunned, and then he was annoyed for a while, with an ugly expression on his face.

They did not expect that a group of food transporters would have such desperate courage.

"Little thief, you are looking for death."

"Those who are sent to death will be fulfilled naturally."

Chief Qian of the cavalry, whose face turned green and pale, sneered, then turned his head, and desperately ordered the cavalry to charge again.

Facing the murderous cavalry, Wang Chunqing naturally had confidence. He held the spear and swung it forward vigorously.

"Crack——" The spear slashed across an unlucky galloping horse, leaving a bloodstain on its buttocks.

In an instant, people turned on their backs, and a rider was destroyed.

Wang Chunqing didn't care about the joy, leaving only an afterimage on the spot, took a big stride, and went directly behind the grain truck, hiding his figure.

The other auxiliary soldiers followed suit, waving their spears, throwing them at the cavalry repeatedly, and then fled to the carriage again.

Even though the spears projected were not accurate enough, the huge number still caused hundreds of casualties to the Chuang army, which angered them even more.

So, desperate to kill.

But at this time, after hearing the signal, Mingqi, who had come from afar, finally ran over, saw the intruders who were constantly attacking the grain team, and immediately screamed and killed them.

"No, it's a hit."

The intruder repented instantly, but it was too late, his tail had already been bitten, and more than half of the casualties fled.

"Not bad!"

Hou Gongji got off his horse, and when he saw the bruised auxiliary soldiers, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's wise of you to find a way to hold them back."

"I heard it was you?"

Wang Chunqing did not expect to have a dialogue with the deputy commander of the cavalry battalion, and he couldn't help being overjoyed: "The lowly position is just a cleverness, and it should not be appreciated by the commander."

Hou Gong was stunned, you have a thick skin, you climb up on the pole when you see it, when did I praise you?

He smiled and said, "Hahaha, can you ride a horse? If you can, come to the cavalry camp from the auxiliary army!"

Wang Chunqing looked at the majestic cavalry, especially the beautiful chain mail, which made him drool with envy.

pity.

"Commander, I don't know how to ride a horse..."

"It's okay!" Hou Gongji's expression became much calmer in an instant.

However, his eyes turned to the grain truck.

I saw that the mules were wrapped in straw, and their eyes and ears were covered. This was to prevent them from running around.

His real focus is only on safe and sound food.

There are many torches on the ground, but the strange thing is that very little food and grass are lit, which makes people puzzled.

Seeing the puzzlement in his eyes, Wang Chunqing hurriedly bent over to lift up the grain and grass, only to see a layer of wet moss under the top wet cloth bag.

Other gaps are also filled with many mosses.

It not only separates wetlands and food well, but also can effectively prevent fire.

"Not bad!"

Hou Gongji became more and more satisfied: "You are very smart, and the cavalry battalion needs someone like you."

"In this way, practice riding more these days, and after the war, I will let you come to the cavalry camp."

"Little Wang Chunqing, thank you General!"

Wang Chunqing shouted loudly.

Hou Gong was stunned, then laughed and left.

Of course he understood its intention.

This sound not only made people remember Wang Chunqing, but also spread his reputation among the entire auxiliary army.

When they returned to the camp after transporting food, the middle-level officers of the auxiliary army came to inspect one by one intentionally or unconsciously, inquiring about their relationship with Hou Gongji.

Wang Chunqing pretended not to know and fooled the past.

Hou Gongji was not simple, he was not only the deputy commander of the cavalry, but also was born in Yulin Town, and had a close relationship with Liu Tingjie of Mingjie Camp and You Shiwei of Yulin Camp.

"I'm freezing to death, bring over the brazier!"

After taking off her wet shoes and socks, Wang Chunqing roasted them on the fire. The low-quality coal was so smoky that it hurt people's eyes.

"No charcoal?"

"It would be nice to have charcoal."

The big man lying on the other bed closed his eyes and meditated: "Now that it's snowing, every battalion is scrambling for charcoal. If our auxiliary soldiers can get some residual charcoal, it's due to Prince Yu himself!"

Hearing this, Wang Chunqing's expression moved, his face was full of curiosity, and he was quite respectful: "Old Wangtou, what do you think King Yu looks like? Is he eight feet tall?"

"What nonsense!" Lao Wangtou, as the chief executive of the auxiliary barracks, was transferred from the main barracks, so he was promoted, and the intention of promotion was obvious.

Compared with Wang Chunqing's general manager, whether it is future or knowledge, they are not the same.

"King Yu, his face is like a crown jade, his appearance is handsome, he usually looks like a young master, once he gets angry, all the battalion commanders will shake like a sieve."

Pharaoh nodded.

Hearing this, Wang Chunqing was full of fascination, and said curiously: "Mr. Wang Qian, you said that we have been trapped for more than half a month. There is not enough food and charcoal fire. The brothers are suffering very much."

"Besides, the thieves kept provoking us, but we ignored them."

"Did King Yu have a plan in mind?"

"How do I know?"

The old Wangtou's face changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't think that if you are in the limelight today, you can make a fool of yourself. Let me tell you, don't ask around in the army."

Wang Chunqing's heart turned cold.

"In addition, you covered the grain truck with moss to prevent fire, and you also stopped the intruder. I have already reported it."

"Thank you, Mr. Qian." Wang Chunqing's heart warmed, and he thanked him from the bottom of his heart.
