Nan Yong sat in a daze on the hillock beside the road, staring at the busy soldiers on the official road in a daze.
He maintained this posture for a long time.
Lu Houcai initially thought that Nan Yong was monitoring the soldiers' work, but later he realized something was wrong.
The soldiers had already left that position, and Nan Yong's eyes were still looking at the empty place.
"Mr.
Qian, this road is almost dug, look..."
Lu Houcai jumped on the mound and shouted.
"Uh," Nan Yong squinted his eyes and looked at the empty official road, and smiled bitterly.
He still had not recovered from Yuan Gang's death in battle.
"Well, let's go down and dig a few more miles."
Nan Yong looked at the official roads that were full of potholes and nodded.
"Sir, actually I'm just giving you one month of confinement, so it's not serious."
Lu Houcai scratched his head and said.
"I know this.
It's not because of this, but because it's a pity for Lao Yuan."
Nan Yong clicked his lips and said.
"It doesn't matter.
Maybe one day I will do this."
Lu Houcai said carelessly.
"You don't have a single lucky word."
Nan Yong glared at him.
"Sir, it's time to dig this road.
We are cavalry, not the Liao people who worked hard to build the road."
Lu Houcai wiped his sweat and said.
"You have a lot of things to do.
This is Lord Zhao Lie's order.
There are too many things being transported in Dengzhou.
Let us destroy the official roads and make the officers and soldiers move slower."
Nan Yong glared at him, "How about that?"
You go discuss it with Mr.
Zhao."
Lu Houcai shrank his neck, "Master Zhao knows who I am."
"Go, go, you're the only one who talks a lot.
Keep working until the officers and soldiers arrive."
Nan Yong interrupted him impatiently.
The sound of roaring horse hooves sounded, and several Polu soldiers galloped from a distance without stopping at night.
"Mr.
Bingqian, the army's brigade is five miles away from here."
He said without closing his hands all night long.
"Well," Nan Yong nodded, "Have I fought with you yet?"
"They can't reach it.
We are all this kind of horses."
Ye Bushou patted the Shidao horse proudly.
Nan Yong smiled slightly.
The long legs of the Shidao horse are stretched out, and the short legs of the Mongolian horse are not enough to look good, of course, long-distance marching does not count.

"Team up, no need to dig the soil."
Nan Yong patted the dirt on his buttocks and said.
Lu Houcai left with a smile.
This is good.
The cavalry has become a digger.
What does it look like?
Wu Sangui was still the vanguard of the entire army, commanding a thousand cavalry troops to march five or six miles in front of the brigade.
After witnessing the tragedy of the rebels in Huang County, everyone believed in the fact that Zhao Lie defeated tens of thousands of rebels.
If Zhao Lie was only heard by the generals in Liao Town in the past, now he has actually seen it, and he is a brave and strategic general.
This was Zu Dalue's words, and other Liaodong generals didn't say a word.
Since Wu Sangui came to the army, he has always been proud of his strength and knowledge.
He often thought about what if the court allowed him to take charge of the army.
He always had the idea of taking charge of Liao Town to compare with the Li family back then.
He was still quite dissatisfied with this young general who was about the same age as him, and wanted to see this Zhao Lie as soon as possible.
However, the large group of men and artillery moved slowly.
More than twenty miles a day was a complete ordeal for Wu Sangui.
Today, Ye Bushou from the front came to report that he encountered Ye Bushou dressed as a Ming army soldier, but the other party never answered them and just looked at each other from a distance.
In addition, Wu Sangui noticed two points that Ye Bushou mentioned.
This group of Ming soldiers were all wearing iron armor.
Even Ye Bushou was wearing half armor.
Furthermore, the mounts of the Ming army were larger than the Mongolian horses they sat on.
More than enough.
The horse is very fast.
It seems that they met Zhao Lie's men, and Wu Sangui's army advanced two or three miles in a hurry.
They stopped on a section of official road.
The official road here was full of potholes, making it almost impossible for Wu Sangui's men to move forward.
One bad move will cause the mount to be injured.
Wu Sangui was thinking about what to do when he saw dust flying on the opposite side and a large group of cavalry galloping towards him.
"Line up and prepare for battle."
Wu Sangui shouted.
The soldiers under his command can be regarded as the elite of Liao Town, and three hundred of them are close confidants of his family who are very capable.
He gave the order.
The soldiers quickly formed their formation.
The sound of horse hooves sounded, and a long red and black dragon appeared in sight.
All the soldiers wore uniform armored shirts to protect their bodies.
The horses they sat on were very tall, visually larger than the more majestic mount he sat on.
The big flags flying in front are Jinghaiwei and Nan.
Seeing the flag of Jinghaiwei, Wu Sangui knew that he was Zhao Lie's subordinate.
He set up an arbor and estimated that there were probably hundreds of cavalry in full armor.
The formation was extremely neat, and it was the neatest cavalry he had ever seen.
"Are the imperial troops from Shandong ahead?"
Someone shouted from the soldiers on the opposite side.
"Exactly, who are you waiting for?"
Wu Sangui shouted angrily.
"This general is Nan Yong, Commander-in-Chief of the Cavalry Corps under Lord Zhao Lie, commander of Jinghaiwei."

The person on the other side bowed his hand.
"My general is Wu Sangui, the pioneer officer of Liao Town."
Wu Sangui returned the greeting, "Excuse me, Lord Nan, are the roads here so difficult?"
Wu Sangui pointed at the bumpy official road with his riding whip.
"This is because the rebels dug the roads to prevent the imperial army from marching quickly.
This is the case in many places going forward."
Nan Yong replied without a red face and a heartbeat.
"I heard that Mr.
Nan is also from Liaodong."
Wu Sangui said suspiciously.
This accent is a pure Liaodong accent and is unmistakable.
"Exactly, Nan Yong is from Fuzhou, Liaodong.
In the fifth year of Tianqi, he was rescued from Lushun by Master Zhao Lie and came to Shandong.
It has been several years now."
Nan Yong sighed with emotion.
Oh, this Zhao Lie has also been to Liaodong, but he has never heard of it, Wu Sangui thought to himself.
Wu Sangui looked at the wheat fields on both sides of the official road, which were about to be harvested.
They were growing well.
It would be a pity for the war horses to step on them, but there was no good road ahead.
He was about to give the order to pass through the wheat field on the side.
"So that Mr.
Wu will know that my Mr.
Zhao has issued a beheading order.
Anyone who tramples on the wheat field will be beheaded."
Nan Yong's loud voice came.
What?
Did you hear that right?
You dared to behead the young master.
Wu Sangui was surprised when he heard this, "I am the vanguard of the army.
I have to detect the traces of the rebels in front.
I can't even care about a few wheat fields."
"No hurry, no rush, our army has captured Dengzhou, the imperial army can move forward slowly."
Nan Yong shouted.
Wu Sangui laughed loudly, "Master Nan is joking, the city of Dengzhou is strong.
It is also surrounded by huge cannons.
How did Master Zhao capture it in one fell swoop?"
Wu Sangui didn't believe it.
Nan Yong said, "I want Mr.
Wu to know that our army has cooperated internally and externally to capture Dengzhou a few days ago.
We will behead the rebel leader Geng Zhongming and capture the rebel leader Li Jiucheng alive."
Wu Sangui lost his mind for a moment.
Could it be true?
Impossible.
Absolutely not.
Having said that.

Wu Sangui went to find out more seriously whether it was true.
He immediately sent a message to the soldiers to march through the wheat fields.
His soldiers had just stepped into the wheat field.
The cavalry on the opposite side also moved, and some of them dismounted and ran towards the Liao Town soldiers.
When they were only a few dozen steps away from the Liao Town soldiers, they took out their short muskets and pointed them at the Liao Town soldiers.
Wu Sangui's face was as dark as water and he didn't say a word.
These Jinghai guards had gone too far.
He said nothing, and his soldiers continued to move forward.
Bang bang bang, several muskets were fired, hitting the ground ten steps in front of the Liao Town soldiers into flying sand and rocks.
"If you take another step forward, kill him immediately."
Leader Bai shouted.
All nearly a hundred short muskets were aimed at the vanguard of Liao Town.
At this time, there was only the neighing of war horses on the road, and the soldiers of Liao Town were frightened.
They looked back at Wu Sangui behind them.
Wu Sangui's face was ashen.
He waved his hand, and dozens of soldiers with three-eyed guns rushed forward and pointed at the Jinghai Guards soldiers.
What surprised Wu Sangui was that these soldiers were not afraid of the three-eyed muskets and only pointed them at them with short muskets.
The two sides are in a stalemate here, and no one is willing to give in.
Wu Sangui looked at the terrain.
If he fired, both sides would suffer losses.
If cavalry charges could defeat the opposing troops, he wouldn't mind giving it a try.
But the Path-Breaking Cavalry couldn't charge forward at all, so he hesitated.
The two sides remained at a stalemate until their arms were sore and numb, and the Liao army could no longer support it.
The three-eyed gun is much heavier than the short gun, so holding it like this all the time is not an option.
Many Liao soldiers' arms were shaky.
"Withdraw."
Wu Sangui shouted in frustration.
After hearing this, the soldiers in Liao Town withdrew from the wheat field.
The soldiers on the opposite side also put away their short muskets, but did not retreat.
They still stood guard against the Liao soldiers, making it clear that they would not let the Liao soldiers step into the wheat fields again.
Wu Sangui suppressed the anger in his chest and sent people back immediately to communicate with the supervisors and supervisors of the rear team.
He has no control over this matter.
This Qianjing Haiwei soldier is too evil.
The rear group arrived two hours later.
Zhu Dadian, Gao Qiqian, Jin Guoqi, Wu Xiang, Yang Yufan, Zu Dale, Huang Long and many other people all rushed here.
They were also shocked when they heard about it.
When they came here, they saw the two armies fighting each other.
Everyone was shocked.
What was going on?
"Who's in front of you?
This is Mr.
Zhu, the Emperor's Governor-General of Shandong Military Affairs, and Gao Jianjun.
Why don't you come and pay your respects?"
Jin Guoqi suddenly stepped forward and shouted.
"This general is under the command of Lord Zhao Lie and Zhao, and only obeys Lord Zhao's military orders."

Nan Yong shouted over there.
When these words were heard, all the generals looked at Zhu Dadian and Gao Qiqian in confusion.
These words were so overbearing.
Even they, as commander-in-chief and generals, did not dare to say this.
It is said that treating the supervisors and supervisors like this is a way to seek death.
It is said that Shangguan cannot protect them at all, even the direct subordinates of the generals.
But Mr.
Qian on the other side said it without any hesitation or politeness.
Gao Qiqian's face turned red.
He felt that his dignity as an angel was offended.
This was not giving the emperor face.
Zhu Dadian squinted at the soldiers on the opposite side and thought about it.
He suddenly asked, "The soldiers on the opposite side are blocking the imperial army like this.
What does Zhao Lie want to do?
Why is he not afraid of the imperial court's blame?"
"Your Excellency, you are saying that Zhao Lie is storming Dengzhou, intending to take the lead."
Jin Guoqi said hesitantly.
"What Mr.
Jin said is absolutely true.
Zhao Lieding thinks so, even if he offends Mr.
Zhu, he won't care."
Yang Yufan agreed.
Everyone suddenly realized that if Zhao Lie took Dengzhou alone and made great achievements, regardless of what happened to Zhu Dadian, this credit alone would be enough.
"The general opposite said that Zhao Lie had captured Dengzhou a few days ago."
Wu Sangui said.
"Impossible.
If Zhao Lie takes Dengzhou, he will definitely come to greet him with great fanfare and show off his martial arts skills."
Zhu Dadian sneered, he knew the appearance of Ming officials very well.
Others echoed.
"Don't worry about them, order the soldiers to smooth the road and get to Dengzhou as soon as possible."
Zhu Dadian said decisively.
The other generals suddenly accepted the order. s: Thanks to kk23 and Super Wuxinren for their monthly ticket support, thanks to Mo Shang Fei Ge and Yue Qi 100 for the rewards, and thanks to friends who subscribed and recommended, thank you:
