The twilight is vast, the drizzle is dripping, the three war horses are nearly 100 meters apart before and after, and they are not fast or slow to advance on the muddy official road, and the knight is wearing a hat and a robe, and under the coat is clearly the standard mandarin duck jacket of the Ming army, which seems to be three scouts who are responsible for exploring the road.

At this moment, a stone suddenly flew out of the grass beside the road, and struck the hoof of the second war horse accurately, and the war horse stood up in shock, and the knight on the horseback rolled down in embarrassment, but he drew his waist knife and prepared to resist and defend himself.

At the same time, two sturdy men jumped out of the grass, knocking the knight down and capturing him alive with a few strokes of his hands and feet. The first knight immediately turned around and came back to the rescue, but a tripping rope bounced up in the middle of the road like a lurking strange snake, and the first knight lost his horse on the spot, and fell out of the horse's back with a scream, fell on the official road and gnawed a mouthful of mud, and was captured alive before he could get up.

Seeing this, the third horseman from a distance of 100 meters immediately turned around and fled, but as soon as he turned his horse's head, a fast horse rushed out of the diagonal ground, and the man swept the third horse with a spear on the horse.

The third knight hurriedly drew his waist knife after landing on the ground, but a little cold star was already on his throat, and a cold voice shouted fiercely: "Don't move! ”

The third knight was shocked and didn't dare to move again, raised his eyes, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it turned out that it was also a Ming army wearing a mandarin duck battle jacket, this Ming army was very young, about sixteen or seventeen years old, with dark skin, born with a tiger's head, with a narrow smile on his face.

"Hehe, brother don't be nervous, it's your own person." Pi Eleven withdrew his spear and laughed.

At this time, a thug who exuded a bloody and murderous aura walked over and said with satisfaction: "Pi Eleven, well done, you kid can leave the school." ”

This soldier is none other than Guo Jindiao, the scout captain and sharpshooter of the 500 Battalion, nicknamed the Golden Eye Eagle, and the young man with a tiger's head on horseback is the recruit Pi Eleven.

Pi Shiyi was originally a soldier of Yangzhou Wei, but was later selected by Xie Erjian and joined the 500 battalion, and after these months of training, he has now been completely reborn and become an excellent scout.

At this time, the knight who had been swept off his horse by Pi Eleven asked in disbelief, "Which guard are you from?" Why attack friendly scouts! ”

Guo Jindiao patted the flintlock pistol on his back, and said hesitantly: "Brother, offended, this is the order of the marshal, temporarily wronged you, tied up!" ”

That knight was the scout sent by Shaoxingwei to guard, and when he saw the flintlock pistol carried by Guo Jindiao, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he blurted out: "You are the five hundred battalions under the command of Governor Xu?" ”

"Well said!" Pi Eleven smiled proudly.

Shaoxingwei, the scout, couldn't help but feel relieved, and he was not wronged in the hands of the 500 battalions, so he was tied up very cooperatively.

About half an hour later, when it was almost completely dark, I saw an army coming from the north side of the official road, and the procession was in good order, marching extremely fast, except for the sound of clattering footsteps, there was not a single noise.

When thousands of majestic soldiers marched behind, there was a group of soldiers with flintlock pistols on their backs, and nearly a hundred brocade guards in flying fish suits escorted a young official on horseback.

This young official was dressed in a five-grade cyan official robe, with red lips and white teeth, and a calm and calm bearing.

At this time, the three scouts of Shaoxingwei were detained on the side of the road, although they did not recognize Xu Jin, they recognized Jinyiwei, the banner of the military department held by Jinyiwei, and the Xuanhuang regimental dragon flag. Let's ask who can put up this kind of battle, except for Xu Jin, the governor of Zhejiang, who else can there be?

The three Shaoxingwei scouts were awe-inspiring, and faintly felt that it was not good, Governor Xu also sent a message before, saying that they would arrive in the afternoon, but at this time, they suddenly appeared near Shaoxingwei, and arrested their own Shaoxingwei scouts, I am afraid that the comer is not good!

There is no doubt that Xu Jin was indeed a bad comer, he led his army south from Hangzhou on the first day of the first month of August, and he could have reached Ningbo Mansion in two days, but he deliberately slowed down his journey, and sent people to inform Shaoxingwei, Changguowei and Guanhaiwei that he would not arrive until tomorrow.

However, when the army passed through the city of Shaoxing, Xu Jin suddenly ordered a rapid march, advanced more than 100 miles in one day, and rushed to the north of Shaoxingwei's camp that night, and tied up the scouts sent by Shaoxingwei.

At this time, the camp of Shaoxingwei was full of smoke, the Huotou army was busy making dinner, and the generals of Shaoxingwei were discussing in the tent.

It is said that Shaoxingwei also arrived this morning, and saw that Guanhaiwei did not move, so he did the same, and set up camp in the north of Ningbo Fucheng, unwilling to be the first bird.

The generals of Shaoxingwei were obviously also worried that Governor Xu would investigate them for the crime of passive sabotage, and after discussion, they also decided to send a few hundred people tonight to pretend to attack Wang Zhibu, and then withdrew after a bluff.

Hey, it's a pity that their wishful thinking is about to come to naught, just as the generals of Shaoxingwei finished discussing and were about to start the meal, Governor Xu had already appeared a mile outside the camp like a divine soldier.

At this time, the Shaoxing guards who had just received the news were almost not frightened, and commanded Feng Guoqing to lead a group of officers to run out of the camp to meet them.

Feng Guoqing was still a little lucky, but when he saw the eye-catching Xuanhuang Regiment Dragon Banner and the Jinyi Guard holding the banner of the military department that opened the way, he no longer dared to have half a chance anymore, ran forward tremblingly, fell to his knees in the muddy water, and said loudly: "Shaoxing Wei commands Feng Guoqing, see Lord Governor." ”

Although the Ming Dynasty now respects martial arts, the commander of the guard is still not guilty of bowing, at most it is a one-knee salute, but Feng Guoqing is obviously weak-hearted, so he kneels on both knees.

Seeing the commander and the envoy kneeling, the other officers of Shaoxingwei naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly knelt on their knees and saluted, and said in unison: "See the Governor!" ”

Xu Jin was standing on horseback, his sword eyebrows were like knives, and his eyes coldly glanced at the Shaoxing guards who were kneeling on the ground.

As early as in Suzhou, he learned of Xia Yan's situation, and the local guards disobeyed the order, so he led the army south this time and deliberately slowed down the trip, the purpose was to test the reaction of these guards army, and every move of Guanhaiwei, Changguowei, and Shaoxingwei was under the nose of Jinyiwei's secret agents, so Xu Jin was clear.

Because of this, Xu Jin suddenly accelerated his march after passing the city of Shaoxing, one of the purposes was to give Shaoxing Wei a dismount, there is no doubt that the effect is really obvious.

Governor Xu suddenly fell from the sky, scaring the generals of Shaoxingwei enough that they all knelt in the muddy water and didn't dare to take a breath.

Xu Jin left Feng Guoqing and the others dry for two minutes, and then said in a deep voice: "Get up." ”

Feng Guoqing and the others stood up nervously, Xu Jin turned over and dismounted, and went straight to the camp gate of Shaoxingwei, Xie Erjian, Wang Lin'er, Yu Linsheng, Xiong Bai, Wang Duo, the five generals were surrounded by the left and right, and a hundred soldiers with loaded guns followed up murderously.

The generals of Shaoxingwei couldn't help beating drums in their hearts, and followed back to the camp nervously. Feng Guoqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it is said that this Governor Xu likes to arrest people as soon as they meet, and now he has not moved himself when he enters the camp gate, so it is estimated that he should be fine.
