In the spring, it rained, the asphalt pull's cattle hair kept going, and even a few days could not see the head, and at noon, a team of generals wearing a rhododendron appeared outside Chongyang North Gate.

They are long-standing veterans, without Yuan Zongdi's order, in the command of the following good defensive formation, and then sit down silently to rest, eat some dry food to restore physical strength, ready to attack Chongyang County.

Strangely, the Chongyang wall was silent, there was no golden drum horn, no one shouted, only the moving red flag on the wall, and the vaguely visible rows of soldiers, indicating that there were garrisoning Ming army.

Yuan Zongdi gently frowned, tugging the ride forward, he did not like this feeling, the Ming army is too quiet, indicating that they have long been prepared, waiting for him.

Twenty or thirty soldiers followed behind, came to the land of the three arrows from the city, Yuan Zongdi turned the horse, from the east gate to the west gate, looked at the three walls sideways, carefully looked at the small county town, and then turned back to the north gate, urging the horse to go in the direction of the city gate.

The soldiers rushed to catch up to dissuade, and then to the wall close to the danger, within the three arrows of the land, although the ordinary bow and arrow can not shoot, but if there is a good shot in the city, with a strong bow hard bow sudden cold arrow, can also hurt Yuan Zongdi.

“I want to look closer.”Yuan Zong Di waved his hand and insisted on moving forward, his eyes never left the moon city outside the two cities.He has always been speechless, do not like to talk, but it is difficult to change his mind as soon as he speaks, and his soldiers have no way to take off their shields and hold them in their hands to protect Yuan Zongdi in the middle.

Yuan Zongdi went closer and closer, carefully looked at the city defense of the Ming Army, and even looked around the side of the moon city, the soldiers were very nervous, here from the city gate is too close, even if the Ming army did not shoot Yuan Zongdi's strong bow, may also send a cavalry, suddenly killed out of the city gate.

Yuan Zongdi looked at the moon city, and looked at the Ming Army on the wall, his eyes were inadvertently on the bright side of the city, and the two people looked at each other silently for a moment, and Yuan Zongdi suddenly shouted.

“Who will be in the city, can you keep a name?”

“The camp of honor is guarded, Wang Kefan.”The sound of the general came from the tower.

Yuan Zong nodded first, turned and hit the horse back to his army: "Let's go, Chongyang does not fight, find a ferry across the river."

With his order, the Dashun army got up and started, the back team became a forward, the Chinese army followed the palace, Yuan Zongdi personally behind the temple, until the old battalion went far, can not see the shadow, only with the guard force ready to leave.

At this time, the city gate suddenly opened.

Yuan Zongji hastened to order a line, ready to fight.Dashun army walked around the city, did not dare to attack Chongyang, the momentum first lost, Ming army at this time out of the city to chase, in the timing of grasping some impatience, the threat to the Da Shun army is not small.

Unexpectedly, it was not the Ming Army that came out of the city gate, but a group of long-term men who pushed the chicken bus.They came to the place five or six hundred steps in front of the city, threw the car, fell a bunch of bulging sacks, and pushed the chicken trolley quickly back.

"General Yuan is a guest from far away, Wang Shou is ready to give food 50 stones, please laugh..." Those young people shouted when they left, making Yuan Zongdi more confused.

He took his own soldiers to look forward, the sack was really food, roughly estimated, almost like 50 stone.

Fifty stone grain is not much, but thousands of the army's three grain, converted into less than one hundred and two silver, but for Yuan Zongdi, who is just lacking in grain, it is no less than sending charcoal in the snow.

When the horse came to the city, Yuan Zongdi held a fist to the upper floor of the city: "No success, why did Wang Guard give me military food?"

"Transit as soon as possible, and do not hurt the people of Chongyang."Wang Kefan on the tower also held his fist far away.

Yuan Zong first stood, then nodded: “Okay!I promise you...”

Da Shunjun went far with food, and the hanging heart of Xu Bing finally put down, and asked Wang Kefan, "These runners' nicknames are difficult to change, and the wise nephew gave him military food, will the tiger be a disease?"

“The mountains meet, and they make a good relationship.”Wang Kefan faintly responded to a word, did not explain more, forked the conversation to the general said: "Yuan Zongdi is eager to get out, see our army waiting, naturally will not attack the city, but the Tartar's pursuit is behind, it is possible to hit us, we must be prepared for the worst!"

Wang Kefan asked again: "The two moon cities of the northern gate meet the tartar soldiers, need to be guarded by the death, who dares to go?"

The two moon cities are outside the city walls, if the Qing army attacked the city in a large way, it is likely to fall into a heavy siege, unable to retreat, much more dangerous than the city, the crowd will look at each other, Zhou Guodong and Wang Sheng first stood out, please guard the moon city.

Wang Kefan shook his head: "As long as the moon city is guarded by a team of soldiers, you are all sentinel, you can't go."

Moon City is not a real city, but a solid earthen high platform built by artificial construction, with steps to the city on the back, and a female wall at the top as a shelter, as a fortress for the gate of the city.The size of these moon cities in Chongyang is not large, and can only accommodate a team of soldiers in the Gongyi camp, that is, more than 40 people.

To guard the city, you need a team officer.

“I am going!”Scully stood out.

He was a thick line of temper, dangerous or anything, never considered too much, rushed to the front every time the war, the next injury hanging.Since the four young masters spoke, he immediately stood out, otherwise no one answered, and the four young masters had no face...

...

The light rain did not stop for two days, and Borhui's Qing army came to Chongyang.

The trumpets sob, the flag waving, and the Qing army in front of the city.Green camp on the left, eight flags on the right, Bolhui led the Bagos camp in the middle, the archer's hand shot, the horse bow hand around, the rattan, the axe, the long gunmen layered, and after the formation, there is a group of Han eight flags with the mule horse dragged out two artillery pieces.

The city is still quiet.

Borhui drew his nose and pushed the iron thorny horse forward, and fifty white armored soldiers followed closely, guarding him around the Chongyang wall.

The boy carefully turned around, took half an hour, and Borhui finally returned to the north gate and called the Han of the Green Camp to take Ma Jinzhong.

Ma Jinzhong, born in the Shaanxi Peasant Uprising Army, nicknamed "Mixed 100,000", Chongchen fourteen years surrendered to Zuo Liangyu, more than 10,000 horses under his hand, Li Zicheng entered the lake after, Ma Jinzhong was ordered to block, a big loss, has not kept up with the Zuoliangyu large forces, and finally surrendered to the Qing army.

“Who’s in town, you know?”

Borhui's tone is very arrogant, he does not like the Han people, especially do not like the surrender of the Han army general, such as the horse in front of the horse.This kind of person is a warrior, but they are soft bones, in order to survive to surrender to the enemy, even less than a small sparrow.(The name of the sparrow is fierce, and often does not eat or drink after being caught, and generally does not live.))

Since joining the army, Bolhui has never lost a battle, but he once imagined that if one day he falls into the siege and is cornered, he would rather fight to the death of the country than to surrender... Of course, this is just a hypothesis, Bolhui is 100% convinced that this kind of thing will never really happen.

"In the words of the Lord Zhang Jing, he is He Tengzhao's men, named Wang Kefan, as if he is a guard."Ma Jinzhong and Jinsheng Huan had a good relationship and knew Wang Kefan's name.

"Go and speak, let him surrender, and let him have a third-class garrison."Do not like it or do not like, Borhui does not exclude the recruitment of Han people, with them instead of full of people fighting and bleeding, after watching Chongyang City Defense, he concluded that this Wang Kefan is worth recruiting.

“Follow the order!”

Ma Jinzhong bowed back, bent into a big, hymn higher than the head, the back of the head with respectful color, but secretly scolded: "Tsold your mother, sooner or later in the hands of your grandfather, a knife cut you with a hammer..."

Deceited!

Ma Jinzhong is a fraud, he did not follow the big army of Zuo Liangyu, had to surrender to the Qing army, but has been holding the intention anyway, but these days busy chasing Yuan Zongdi, always with Borhui's army together, can not find a suitable opportunity.

These days, Ma Jinzhong more understanding of the fighting power of the Qing army, according to his estimates, if the fight with Borhui, the other side as long as the use of the 50 white armored soldiers, can kill their most elite five hundred soldiers.

Tartar soldiers are too fierce, really can be ten!

Therefore, he became more cautious, especially respect for Borhui, and usually showed a loyal and hard work, as if he were an obedient hound, hoping to gain his trust.Sooner or later there is a chance, until the day when he can act alone, the safabi leaves, regardless of his Borghbor...

What surprised him was that Borhui was usually arrogant, his eyes above the top, but he paid so much attention to Wang Kefan that he was given a third-class garrison.Third class Ala Zhangjing, similar to the guerrilla generals in the Ming Army, is two levels higher than the garrison.

Manchurians recruited Han civilian and military officials, generally are equivalence treatment, the original is the prefectural, after the surrender is also known as the prefect, the original is to participate in the general, surrender also as a general.

Of course, there are some exceptions, such as Niu Venus is the Prime Minister of the Great Shun Dynasty (his official title is the state of the Dashun Left Pingzhang), after surrendering should be given to a university, but his reputation in the Han squire is too bad, the university is too high, so simply hang up no official, but as compensation, to his son Niu ascended to a level, from the Dashun Dynasty Xiangyang Province, promoted to the Qing Dynasty.

A patriarch has changed the level, but gave Wang Kefan two levels, why is this?

Ma Jinzhong immediately, carefully looking at Chongyang City defense.;
