Lu Ming

Chapter 455
The first team to set off from Yong Peng is a 200-person agricultural product transportation team.This team was sent back to Tianjin as a "reverse transport team" in order to avoid too much baggage affecting operations.

After yesterday's continuous fighting, except for Zunhua and the Tartars in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, all other areas have been recovered.Therefore, this team will go straight across the Hebei Plain along the southwest direction, and return to Tianjin Old School Stadium without any hindrance.

The transport team of 200 people will bring back more than [-] war horses to Tianjin, and of course, off-season watermelons on horseback.

To tell the truth, those who sent so many captured war horses to the rear while fighting were probably the few and powerful cross-travelers.

Two hundred miles away on the plain, the transport team is expected to arrive at Tianjin's old nest tomorrow morning.At that time, the people of Tianjin will be able to see new varieties of watermelons produced in Baishan Heishui.

After the transport team left, the second wave set off was a team of official troops.There are not many officers and soldiers, just ten people.

That's right, the army.

All of them wore brand-new bright red Ming army-style fat jackets, copper basin hats on their heads, and one man with two horses. They were the standard Ming soldiers.

After leaving the west gate of Yongping, this team of officers and soldiers headed straight west.To the west of Yongping, 400 miles away, is the capital city.

After the two groups set off, it was delayed until the afternoon before the large force of the Intervention Army was able to move out of the city for the third time, and the destination was Santunying.

Due to the lack of 200 Flying Tiger Battalion soldiers, the large force has now shrunk to 450.The team still has one man and two horses, and some of the logistics personnel are equipped with three horses and four horses.

The reason why I left the city until the afternoon was because of an unexpected incident: the legendary "Send off by all the elders in the whole city".

After learning that the time-traversing people were going to leave, almost all the thousands of Ming people who were still in Yongping City mobilized and performed all kinds of touching routines to persuade them to stay.

No wonder the natives in the city are so enthusiastic.In just one day and one night, the Ming people discovered the difference of this green jacket army.

The force is strictly disciplined.After the soldiers broke through the city, not only did they not take advantage of the situation to snatch it (the officers and soldiers often do this), but they also helped the aborigines put out the fire and heal the wounded.

As for the properties of the Tartars, the people who traveled through did not take a penny, and distributed these bloody treasures to the people.Finally, open a warehouse to release food and invite to eat barbecue. In this era of bad times, this is a proper teacher of benevolence and righteousness, a teacher of morality!

The natives' gratitude to the Green Coat Army was instantly overwhelming, and in just one day and one night, the relationship between the two parties reached the level of fish and water.

The next day, when they found out that the soldiers were leaving, the natives spontaneously organized a send-off team. There was a huge crowd of people trying to persuade them to stay with all kinds of reluctance. The elders took off their boots and the girls presented wine with many routines. , and was delayed a lot of time.

After leaving the city, Zhang Zhongqi, who was riding a horse, looked back at the city where the suspension bridge was slowly being pulled up, and then said with lingering fear: "The people are too enthusiastic! It seems that they have taken away my combat boots."

"Okay, you don't have to be cheap and good-looking." Yao Jianshe next to him said with a smirk: "I didn't hear people say that I want to build a shrine based on you? You are a character, and you have drawn a clear line with us ordinary people, and you will ascend to heaven sooner or later, it is incredible!"

"Ascension to heaven, can you speak human language?" Zhang Zhongqi blushed when she heard the words: "That is the shrine built for General Cao, but they mistaken me for the general soldier, and Zhang Zhongqi should be the one who wants to ascend to heaven." Dongdong ascended to heaven!"

"Hey, don't tell me, the relationship is very complicated." Qian Tieshan, who was at the end of the team, also got excited: "Is the living temple worshiping Mr. Cao? Can the high imitation Zhang Dongdong get the incense? Besides, Since the statue is made according to Lao Zhang's mold, Lao Zhang, you can take a few sips even if you are free, right?"

"Two puffs and I still take two puffs." Zhang Zhongqi was completely speechless looking at the two laughing Huren.

Just as the group was laughing and joking, Du Dewei, who was walking in front of the team, ran over with a signal soldier with a radio on his back: "There is fire fighting over the Santun Camp."

"With whom? The Ming army or the Jin army?"

"Shuto."

Rewind time to yesterday morning.

After seeing the smoke rising from the direction of Qian'an, Amin in Yongping City immediately sent messengers to various places to call the police, asking the garrison troops to retreat in time.

The messengers to the west are two riders and six horses. These two people are responsible for conveying the orders of Dabei Le to Santunying and Zunhua.

All the way fast and fast, the messenger ran more than 100 miles before the evening, and came to the vicinity of Santunying.

By this time, the two of them didn't dare to be careless: the enemy from the north had set Qian'an city on fire, so there was a high possibility that something went wrong in Santunying.

Even the day before, the courier from Zunhua reported that there was nothing wrong with the journey, but the two men were still skeptical, and instead of plunging into the Santun Camp, they stopped their horses in a distant mountain col and boarded a It is located on a small hill, looking out from under the tree.

I don't know if I don't see it, it's amazing to see it.

On the mountain road in front of Santunying, there are actually people coming and going at this moment. There are about a hundred laborers in Ming costumes who are working on the road. They are far away and can't see what these people are busy with.

At the same time, on the top of the city of Santunying, there is still a banner with a blue banner, and people wearing banner uniforms can still be vaguely seen patrolling the top of the city.

After the two messengers looked at each other, they both saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.

Now there are two possibilities.

One is that the Santun camp has been attacked by the Ming army.

The other is that the Santun camp is still in the hands of their own people, and the laborers in front of the gate are all captured by the bannermen from nearby to work.

However, this explanation is very far-fetched: the defenders of Santunying are only tasked with defending the city. If they want to leave, they can go north from the city and enter the mountains. There is no need to build roads at the gate.Besides, the messenger who came before did not report this matter.

After a brief discussion between the two messengers, they finally decided to be careful and try it out first.Then they did a division of labor: one of them stepped forward to inquire, and the other hid behind and did not show his face.

Not long after, a fast horse swaggered over from the mountain road and stopped at a distance of seven or eighty meters from the city wall.

When the guards at the top of the city saw the person coming, they hurriedly shouted and asked the person why he came.

After revealing their identities, they immediately asked to meet Niu Lu, the defender of the city, and said that there was an emergency military report from Dabeile.

There was a reply from the top of the city: The two Niu Lu went to the north of the city to check the roads, and asked the messenger to go to the city to rest and wait.

When the messenger heard this, he turned around and left without saying a word.

The next moment, a shot was fired from the top of the city, and the knight 80 meters away fell down in response.

The Ming laborer, who was building the road in front of the gate, skillfully sent two people over when he heard the gunshot, and brought the dead messenger back to the city with his man and horse.

All this fell into the eyes of the messenger lurking in the dark.After seeing this weird scene, this guy was so scared that he pissed out.
