Chapter 123 Teasing the Tiger's Whiskers

The north wind that blows in the early morning carries a faint cold air and flows on the earth.

As soon as he exhaled, he froze into white smoke in the air.

The ray of sunshine in the eastern sky quietly shines on the earth.

Chen Hu rode a horse and marched in the wilderness outside Shunyi City.

The armor on his body was covered with frost. In this cold winter, the dew in the air would condense on the armor.

Fortunately, Sun Jie wore thermal clothes from Hyundai inside, so it wouldn't be cold.

The sky and the earth are so vast that you can't see very far.

Behind them were two hundred Jiannu captives. They were wearing dirty white cotton armor, and the soldiers brought by Chen Hu tied them up with ropes.

It was cold, and if they didn't wear these cotton armors, they might all freeze to death in one night.

In front is Shunyi City. Not long ago, this place was breached by Huang Taiji and slaughtered. There are corpses everywhere, and it has become an empty city.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, almost no one cared about the life and death of those ordinary people.

In Chongzhen's eyes is his great Ming country, in the eyes of officials and lords, is their glory and wealth.

People are nothing but ants.

In the world of cannibalism, no one cares about their life or death.

Hong Chengchou, who was stationed in Huairou, led his troops south. After Huang Taiji escaped, he "recovered" Shunyi City.

Not long after his army was stationed in Shunyi City, the battle between Sun Jie and Zhengbai Qi started.

Shunyi City is far away from Tongzhou, and the rumbling guns from Tongzhou cannot be heard.

After the defeat of the Jiannu soldiers, the fleeing soldiers didn't care about anything, they let go and fled in all directions.

Many Jiannu fled to the north, and they would naturally pass through Shunyi City.

Hong Chengchou, who was stationed in the city, originally thought that these Jian slaves had come to attack Shunyi City, and the whole army suddenly became terrified.

But when they saw the Jiannu rout outside the city, the fear in their hearts completely dissipated.

The Jian slaves outside the city ran for their lives without any rules, it looked like they were running for their lives.

Hong Chengchou has been in battle for a long time, so he naturally knows the difference between marching and fleeing.

But the people outside the city were Jian slaves after all, so he had to be careful.

So a small number of Yebushou were sent outside to investigate.

When the army collapses, the morale of the army is scattered.

No matter how powerful Jiannu was, he was just a sick tiger with no teeth after being defeated.

When these Yebushou brought a few captive Jiannu back, Hong Chengchou couldn't sit still.

A few days ago, the imperial court's arrival report reached him, saying that more than [-] slaves were beheaded by soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp and Shaanxi Middle Road.

At first he didn't believe it. Jiannu's ability is well known. If Jingying had this ability, would the former Jiannu dare to invade the bandits?

But the reports that came later were all talking about this matter, and what they said was true and discerning, and gradually they believed a lot.

Then, he became even more indifferent.

More than 2000 heads, what is this?This is the credit of splashing heaven!
Hong Chengchou was very utilitarian and his personal morals were deficient. After seeing the contributions made by the Jingying and Shaanxi Middle Road soldiers and horses, his mind became alive.

So he boldly led the defenders from Huairou to Shunyi.

In other words, Shunyi City is now just an empty city.

Without any accident, he led the army and recovered smoothly.

At that time, Huang Taiji had already fled to the west, and even passed by Huairou.

Coupled with the previous report, Hong Chengchou can also understand why Huang Taiji ran west.

However, he didn't understand, who in this world could force Huang Taiji to such an extent.

Not long after entering Shunyi, Jiannu broke out and came outside the city of Shunyi.

So the previous scene happened.

When he saw a small number of captives who could be captured at night and returned to build slaves, he keenly discovered that this was a great opportunity to build military exploits.

Therefore, he ordered the soldiers in his hands to attack with the whole army except for a small number of remaining soldiers and horses.

For a time, Shunyi was surrounded by the three "elites" brought by Hong Chengchou.

The sun had risen to the sky, and the temperature between the sky and the earth was a little higher.

Chen Hu took off an oblate military thermos from his horseback.

When the plug was removed, steam came out, and the hot water poured in before departure was still scalding my mouth.

Taking a sip cautiously, his somewhat stiff body warmed up a lot.

Putting down the thermos in his hand, he looked at the soldiers next to him, and said, "Report the location of our army to your lord, and at the same time order all the soldiers to rest in place. After chasing all night, eat breakfast to warm up and rest before talking about it!"

The soldier took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket and shouted over there.

Before long, a simple camp was set up.

The fire was blazing, and the iron pot on top was gurgling and gurgling.

The smell of meat rises, blowing further away under the weak north wind.

Chen Hu squatted in front of an iron pot, holding a bowl, cooking bacon and noodles.

After eating, lick the bowl clean to save wasting time cleaning.

He was born in a humble family and suffered from hunger, so he could not waste food.

Even the pot where the rice was cooked was wiped clean by the dry food he brought.

He left a one-hour rest time, and the soldiers rested on the spot after eating.

After chasing and killing them without rest for a long time, several waves of captives have been sent back.

Now that I have free time, take a break and rejuvenate my spirit.

And he himself, standing on the edge of the camp, looked north.

"Boom!"

There was the sound of horseshoes next to his ears, and he raised the binoculars hanging on his waist to look, and saw a cavalry coming towards this side.

This is a soldier in his army, who is cruising around, and is responsible for tracking down Yebushou, who has defeated Jiannu's troops.

Then he put down the binoculars in his hand, thinking it was just an ordinary thing.

Ye Butun saw Chen Hu, and accelerated towards this side.

Ye Bushou's expression was ugly, as if he had encountered something.

Stopped the horse, turned over and jumped off, ran to Chen Hu, and shouted anxiously: "General, someone attacked our team outside tracking Jiannu's rout, detained three or four of our brothers, and even sent a prisoner to Chen Hu. All the Jian slaves we captured were snatched away!"

"Who did it?!"

Chen Hu's expression froze, with a murderous aura.

"I don't know. It's just south of Shunyi City. It should be a certain group of officers and soldiers." Ye Bushou replied quickly.

"Go and see!"

With a gloomy face, Chen Hu turned around, came to the camp, and called up the soldiers who had just rested.

After leaving some guard soldiers behind, Chen Hu led the team and set off.

Chen Hu came out this time with almost 50 cavalrymen.

Although the number is not large, it is more than enough to deal with Jiannu captives.

Riding a war horse, he galloped towards Shunyi City.

Ye Bushou pointed to a small hill in front of him and shouted, "My lord, that's over there, they probably haven't left yet!"

Chen Hu started to slow down and looked forward with his binoculars.

Sure enough, I saw a group of Ming soldiers.

Passing through the gaps in the crowd of the Ming army, Chen Hu saw soldiers who were tied up, stripped of their armor, and thrown to the ground.

"General, what should we do now? Direct attack or how to say?
You should kill them directly and kill these bastards! "

Ye Bushou was indignant that night, his face was full of murderous intent.

Chen Hu also had a murderous look on his face, and he wanted to kill him very much.

However, he cannot do this.

He has to think about Sun Jae, he can't get into trouble for Sun Jae.

Don't cause unnecessary trouble because of the momentary pleasure.

What's more, there are only dozens of people on my side.

Looking at Ye Bushou next to him, Chen Hu said calmly: "No, now that you have just gained a firm foothold, it is not easy to make enemies on all sides. Our life is hard-won, so we should not start a war lightly. Cherish it, let's go to negotiate first! "

With that said, Chen Hu led the people there.

Before they could pass, the Ming army found them.

In terms of numbers, the Ming army has an absolute advantage.

More than 100 cavalry, plus three or four hundred infantry, surrounded here.

Soon, Chen Hu was surrounded inside.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

A Ming army general stood up and stood in front of Chen Hu, looking at Chen Hu with contempt in a condescending posture.

Bureaucracy!

There are so many people!

Dog fights people!

Seeing that the number of people was superior, he didn't take Chen Hu seriously.

Also, the number of soldiers brought by Chen Hu is small. Although everyone has armor, the number is far less than these people in front of them. In addition, these Ming soldiers have no idea of ​​the origin of Chen Hu and others, nor do they know who these slaves are. who beat.

They are enjoying themselves taking credit for their achievements now, but how can they be convinced when they see someone coming to take credit for their achievements and get in their way?
Stealing people's money is like killing their parents!
"Are you soldiers from Shaanxi? Judging from your accent, you should be from Yansui Town, right? I'm also from Yansui Town, all fellow villagers!"

Chen Hu endured the resentment in his heart and tried his best to calm down his tone.

"Pooh!"

The general of the Ming Army spit on the ground and cursed: "Who is a fellow from your hometown? I am a guerrilla general in Yansui Town. I was ordered by the Governor to stop the enemy here. You waste, what do you want to stop me?" Why? Could it be a spy?"

Chen Hu's face was cloudy and uncertain, this person doesn't eat oil or salt.

Just as Chen Hu was about to speak again, there was a commotion behind the Ming army.

They gave way to a road, and a Ming army general riding a tall horse came slowly under the guard of his family.

Chen Hu's pupils shrank, his fists were clenched, and his eyes were scarlet!

He cursed in his heart: "He Renlong!"

He Renlong was the culprit who caused the deaths of both his wife and child.

Chen Hu would never forget He Renlong's appearance even if he died, even if he was burned to ashes.

The revenge of killing his wife and son is irreconcilable!

The sound of breathing becomes thicker, and the chest rises and falls non-stop.

When the enemy met, he was extremely jealous.

I can't wait to rush up and kill him on the spot.

His right hand touched the waist knife on the horse's back, and the cold touch from the handle made Chen Hu sober again.

He kept panting, trying to calm down.

I kept advising myself in my heart, not to ruin the great affairs of the adults, not to cause trouble for the adults.

Forcibly held back the hatred in my heart!
He Renlong is cruel and easy to kill. Although he has military achievements, he can't hide his despicable nature, so he is called "Crazy He".

In the fourth year of Chongzhen, more than 320 thieves were lured to surrender, and they attacked and killed them at the banquet with ambush soldiers.

All his followers were cheated!

In the 13th year of Chongzhen, Zheng Chongjian, who was the governor of Shaanxi at any time, besieged and suppressed Zhang Xianzhong. Because he was jealous of Zuo Liangyu's meritorious service in pacifying the bandits, he was awarded the title of General of the Suppressing Bandits by the imperial court. Zuo Liangyu's tribe fought violently, and the flames of war burned on the heads of the people to vent their anger by killing them.

In the 14th year of Chongzhen, he was under the command of Fu Zonglong, the then governor of the three sides. Because he did not listen to his orders, he had deep grievances with the officers and soldiers. He died in Xincai.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, he followed the governor of the three sides Wang Qiaonian to go out to attack the thieves.Then he walked to Xiangyang and left without saying goodbye, resulting in Wang Qiaonian being killed.

This person had a lot of bad deeds, and was finally tolerated by Chongzhen.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty when the army became bigger, Chongzhen secretly ordered Sun Chuanting, He Renlong's old boss, to kill him secretly, desperate for the situation to become more corrupt.

This person's misdeeds don't stop there.

It can be said that this person made the situation in the late Ming Dynasty even more corrupt to some extent.

Such a person is still a general in Hong Chengchou's hands today.

He Renlong had already forgotten who Chen Hu was.

Over the years, eight hundred people have died at his hands. How could a person like him care about the life and death of an ordinary soldier?
"Who are you? How dare you block our army's actions? Could it be that you are a slave spy?!"

He Renlong narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Hu coldly.

Chen Hu saw that He Renlong didn't know him, so he said patiently: "I am the commander of the personal guard battalion under the general's account in Shaanxi Middle Road, here to negotiate about the detention of the soldiers under his command!"

"Shaanxi Middle Road General? Commander under the account?! Hahaha!"

He Renlong laughed so hard that tears came out of his eyes.

"Are you kidding me? Shanxi Middle Road General? What? Little generals dare to bark and bark in front of me, what a joke!
And you, the commander of the personal guard battalion?What is it again?
Your lord will kneel and kowtow when seeing Lao Tzu, let alone you little bastard!Lao Tzu is the chief soldier, remember, Lao Tzu is the chief soldier! "

Put away your smile and try your best to ridicule.

"Since you're here, don't think about leaving. The armor on your body looks pretty good, take it off for me!"

With the soldiers under his command, he approached.

"You dare!"

Chen Hu flashed his saber, and yelled at him sharply, his eyes were like eagles, fixedly staring at He Renlong.

He Renlong's madness also came up, he pulled out the waist knife from his waist, and shouted: "Since you are looking for death, then don't blame me for being cruel! Give it to me!"

The surrounding soldiers rushed forward.

In the late Ming Dynasty, official military fire was not uncommon.

The Battle of Hunhe during the reign of Tianqi began because of the merger of Zhejiang soldiers and Jiliao soldiers.

These bandit soldiers only have interests in their eyes, where do they come from?
After all, it was hard to fight with two fists and four hands. In addition, when the incident happened suddenly, Chen Hu and others were captured by He Renlong and others.

However, under Chen Hu's cover, they still escaped for a few nights.

Among them was the orderly who was in charge of contacting the General Staff.

"Our soldiers and horses were attacked, ambushed by the Ming army, and General Chen was robbed ten miles south of Shunyi City!

I repeat, our troops were attacked and ambushed by the Ming army, and General Chen was robbed ten miles south of Shunyi City! "

In the General Staff Headquarters in Tongzhou City, anxious voices sounded.

This news was quickly delivered to Sun Jie.

"Those who dare to touch me? Court death!"

 Thank you Scarecrow for your reward, and thank you for your support! ! !
