After Yang Feng's comfort, Zhezhe and Da Yu'er's mood slowly calmed down.

In the next few days, Yang Feng was still busy, until the first day of the second lunar month, Yang Feng led 25,000 troops to board the fleet of hundreds of cargo ships and warships that had been waiting at the dock for a long time, and sailed towards Liaodong......

More than 120 miles away from Shengjing City, there is a place called Heitunzi, which was originally a gathering place for Manchu people, and more than 100 families lived.

However, since more than ten days ago, after the news that the Ming army was going to attack Shengjing, all the people in this place moved to another large gathering point designated above, and this tunzi was empty.

A group of more than 30 people, wearing leather armor, huddled in a big house in the tunzi, a bonfire was burning, these Ming soldiers were doing their own things, some of them were roasting the fire, some were checking weapons, and more were smoking and chatting.

Zhao Laohei sat on a stool near the window, constantly looking out the window, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.

It had been snowing for several days, and they had been trapped in this place for two whole days, and although they still had enough food to eat, he was a little anxious at the thought that they would not be able to complete the task ordered by the peak.

Zhao Laohei, who was originally the Liaodong Army, was the Jiangning Army who took refuge in two years ago, and in two years, he was originally just an ordinary chief, but now he has become the general manager.

In the Jiangning Army, the salary of a hundred generals is not low, and there are more than 100 taels of silver every year, so Zhao Laohei became a family under the introduction of the matchmaker as early as a year ago.

Although his daughter-in-law is just the daughter of an ordinary farmer's family, Zhao Laohei is already satisfied.

A few years ago, he couldn't even support himself, and he never dreamed that he would have a family and start a business, especially two months ago, when he learned that his daughter-in-law was actually pregnant, he felt that he had nothing else to ask for in his life.

Even so, half a month ago, when Zhao Laohei learned that the Marquis of Jiang Ning had ordered the troops to regroup and prepare for another expedition to Liaodong, he still did not hesitate to sign up with his superiors.

As a veteran, of course Zhao Laohei knows the danger of the battlefield, especially if he doesn't collect at night, but he still signed up without hesitation, because Zhao Laohei is a person who knows how to repay his kindness.

He has always believed that he should be a man with a conscience, and he can have a happy life today is all given by Jiang Ninghou, and now Jiang Ninghou is going to go on an expedition to Liaodong, how can he not go if he does not collect the night for many years in Liaodong, so he said goodbye to his pregnant daughter-in-law and embarked on the journey again.

As the most elite type of troops, Ye Bushui has always been the most dangerous task, and this time Zhao Laohei's task is to lead more than 30 brothers to go hundreds of miles forward to spy on the movements of the enemy army for the large army.

Two days ago, when Zhao Laohei came to this tunzi with more than 30 brothers, they encountered heavy snowfall, and they were trapped in this empty tunzi.

Fortunately, the people in the tunzi walked in a hurry, and although they took away all the valuables and food and other materials, some of the more bulky daily necessities such as firewood were left, which enabled them to survive the low temperature for two days.

A young man took off an aluminum lunch box hanging from a campfire, put on a pair of rubber gloves and opened the lid, revealing the black liquid inside.

The young Ye Buhui put the liquid into a part of a porcelain jar and handed it to Zhao Laohei, who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Head...... You've been watching it for a long time, so let's have something to warm up your stomach with a drink. ”

Zhao Laohei took the porcelain jar, blew it a few times and took a sip, his brows furrowed at first, and then relaxed. Turning his head and smiling, he said to the young Yebu: "Don't say it, I thought it was sour and bitter when I first drank it, but after drinking it, I thought it was very delicious, especially since it can also help us refresh ourselves, which is even more rare." By the way, this thing is called ...... What's it called? ”

"Coffee!" Young night does not put aside to add.

Zhao Laohei narrowed his eyes, picked up the tea jar and poured a sip of coffee, and after a long sigh of relief: "Yes, coffee." You see, in this kind of cold and freezing ghost weather, drinking a cup of coffee, the whole person feels relieved, it is indeed a good thing. ”

The young Ye Bushu asked with some curiosity: "Zhao Tou, I heard that you used to be an errand in the Liaodong Army, how is it compared to our Jiangning Army?" ”

"How?"

Zhao Laohei rolled his eyes and snorted lightly: "It's not comparable at all, let me tell you, when I was in the Liaodong Army, I ......"

Just as Zhao Laohei said this, his face changed slightly, he almost jumped up, and the whole person pounced on him, only to see that he put his whole face on the ground, if you look closely, you can find that his face is also changing.

At this time, the night guards in the room also stopped talking, and all eyes looked at Zhao Laohei.

Zhao Laohei said as he listened: "There is a large group of cavalry coming towards us from three miles away, and the number is at least more than a thousand. ”

"A thousand?"

Everyone's faces immediately became ugly, Ye Bushu was certainly the elite of the elite, but after all, they were only mortals, if they encountered an enemy army with an absolute numerical advantage, their fate could be imagined, not to mention the cavalry known for their speed.

"That's not right...... More than a thousand...... At least two thousand...... Three thousand ......"

In the end, Zhao Laohei's voice changed a little.

At this time, the faces of the night guards in the house are as ugly as they are.

There are only thirty-five of them when they are full, and if they really have to compete with the three thousand people outside, I am afraid that there will not even be any scum left.

"Head...... What do we do now? The young night asked in a low voice, and if you listened carefully, you would notice that there was a tremor in his voice.

Zhao Laohei tried to calm down his emotions, and after thinking about it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"No, who is so bold enough to march in such a ghost weather? Aren't they afraid of death? ”

"That's right!"

was said by Zhao Laohei, and he didn't collect it all night.

It was snowing heavily, the temperature was at least ten degrees lower, and the snow on the ground was at least submerging the feet and necks.

The reason why Zhao Laohei was trapped here for two days was not that they couldn't walk, but that their war horses couldn't stand it, and if they really wanted to march forcibly, I was afraid that if they didn't walk for a day, their war horses would have to fall a little bit.

So what was the reason for the cavalry outside to force the march so unsparing the horses?
