If Lang Yimian could fly into the sky at this time, he would be able to understand why this beast was able to touch the house he was in all at once. At this time, to the east of the Chinese camp, under the cover of the heavy rain, all the fierce dogs of the beast team of Samarkand were sent out, and at this time they attacked all the sentries without regard for casualties. Behind them, tens of thousands of Samarkand soldiers, with swords and guns in their hands, stared at the Ming army camp in front of them by the dim moonlight and the lightning that flashed in front of them from time to time.

Timur himself braved the heavy rain and quietly rode beside the army. Although he couldn't see the situation in front of him at all.

I don't know how long later, Gilji, who led the beast team, rode over on horseback, took a breath and said to Timur: "Great Khan, most of the sentries have been bitten to death. ”

Timur nodded, seeing that his expression was ugly, and said with a smile: "Don't be sad for the dead beast. They can die for the army, and they deserve it. When this war is over, I will give you double the amount of money every year, so that you can feed more fierce dogs. ”

Gilji said yes and ran back to command the Fierce Dogs.

Timur glanced at the soldiers who were waiting quietly like him, and was about to speak, when he suddenly couldn't help coughing twice.

"Great Khan, it's raining so heavily, you better go back first, there are still us here." Jesbu hurriedly said.

"It's out of the way, my body can still bear it."

"But ......"

"Nothing! Although I am older, my legs and feet are not very flexible, and my physical health is far less than when I was younger, this little rain can't stop me! Timur said.

When Jesbu heard this, he didn't dare to persuade him again, but he was still worried that he would fall ill.

Timur didn't care what Yesbu was thinking, and said to the generals behind him: "As long as this battle is successful, the Ming army will be defeated." Samarkand became the most powerful country in the world, and it was only a matter of time before the Ming Kingdom was conquered. Generals, start the action according to the plan I made earlier! ”

"Yes, Great Khan." The crowd agreed, and began to act according to the battle plan that Timur had told them earlier.

……

……

"Commander, it's raining so hard, it's not good if they get sick, let's let them go back to the tent." At this time, commanding Qin Sen's tent in the camp of Yongming Zuowei, Zhao Xing pleaded with Qin Sen.

After Zhao Xing escorted Chang An and the others back to the camp of the army, he immediately found Qin Sen to report the matter. Qin Sen was furious when he learned about it. The reason for his anger is similar to that of Zhu Suohai: both sides are already unhappy today because they have robes dying in battle, and it is easy to fight with real fire, in case someone is killed, it will have a great impact on him.

He quickly ordered: "Pass my order, all those who have been escorted back because of the fight this time are to stand in the right place in the camp, and they are not allowed to move at all, and whoever moves twenty sticks without permission will be forty sticks twice!" ”

Of course, Chang An and the others didn't dare to disobey his words, so they could only stand straight in the camp, not daring to move at all.

Originally, it was okay, but slowly the rain became heavier and heavier, and the majestic rain poured on them, Zhao Xing was worried about Chang'an, so he came to Qin Sen to intercede.

"Don't!" Qin Sen was categorical: "One by one, they don't have a lot of ability and have such a big temper, and there is a group fight in the barracks, especially where the monks do things!" If this is a human life, and some of you are killed by the North Koreans, how can I have the face to go back to see Your Highness? If a North Korean is killed by you, how can I have the face to see Xu Shuai or Song Shuai? ”

"I didn't give each of them eighty military sticks to lie in bed for three months, the punishment was already very light, even if they were sick, they would have brought it on themselves!"

"Zhao Xing, I know that you have a good relationship with Chang An, and it stands to reason that as a hundred households, he should be treated a little more favorably than Xiaobing. But today he took the lead in the fight, and if he didn't punish him severely, he wouldn't be able to remember the rules! ”

When Zhao Xing heard Qin Sen say this, he knew that he was still very angry in his heart, so he didn't dare to persuade him anymore, so he could only stand aside with his hands down.

But at this time, another person wearing a three-rank martial general uniform sitting next to Qin Sen spoke: "Qin Sen, this thousand households under you also said that even if you beat twenty military sticks per person, it is better than them getting sick in the heavy rain. At present, the military doctors in the military medical institute have medicine to treat external injuries, but there are not many medicines that can cure wind cold, and it is not easy to treat them if they really catch wind cold. ”

"Since Commander Chang opened his mouth to intercede, Zhao Xing, you go and pass on my order and let them go back to their tents. But when the rain stops tomorrow, each person will be beaten with twenty military sticks, and I will personally watch the beating! Qin Sen said.

"Thank you, Commander." Zhao Xing bowed to him, then turned around and said to the person called 'Commander Chang': "Thank you, Lord Chang, for interceding. ”

"Not necessarily." Often the conductor waved his hand.

This person who is called Chang Commander is Chang Jizong, the eldest son of Zheng Guogong Chang Sheng. He played a role in the war against Annam, and because of his strong connections, he was promoted to the commander of the Zhongfu Military Guard, and this time he also led troops to the Western Regions to participate in the war against Samarkand.

Although Chang Jizong is known as 'the most capable person in the third generation of the Chang family', he knows that his ability is stronger than his father and limited, when Lan Yu was still alive, he had a good relationship with Chang Sheng, and once commented that he "In the future, I can be a general soldier who guards the border pass and commands 350,000 horses; Those who have few affairs in the interior can be commanded, but no matter how big the official is, he will not become. ”

But he is the eldest son of Zheng Guogong's mansion, and in the future, Zheng Guogong's heir, how can he be only a general soldier! But his qualifications are here, even if Yun Xi sees that he is appointed as a bigger official for the sake of his relatives, he can't play it.

Fortunately, Chang Jizong is quite diligent, and in order to make up for his clumsiness, he learns from others everywhere. Everyone will also mention a few words on the face of his identity.

Now that he is fighting with Xilu, Chang Jizong is more sure when it is his turn to go into battle, so he visits every day these days after returning from the guard station where he went to war, and asks how it feels to fight with Xilu. Today, I came to Yongming Left Guard to visit Qin Sen.

Zhao Xing stared at Chang Jizong with some strangeness. He and Chang An were the gatekeepers of the Chang family when they were in the capital, but they were expelled from Changfu and exiled to Kaiyuan City because they almost delayed a fatal matter. Later, he went to Yongming.

It is impossible to say that he has no resentment in his heart, but the Chang family just expelled him from the mansion and did not implicate his family, and his father was not too young to do heavy work and give him food, not to mention that he was at fault first, and it had long since faded after so many years. But I still have a different mind about the Chang family.

Qin Sen had instructed him to continue talking to Chang Jizong about this matter, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhao Xing still standing and not moving, and said angrily: "You still haven't gone down to pass my order!" ”

"Yes, Commander." Zhao Xing came back to his senses and hurriedly walked out of the tent. After a while, Chang An walked in with him again and said to Qin Sen, "My subordinates, thank you for your kindness. ”

"Okay, the meaning of these false courtesies has become the meaning, you have also been in the rain for half a day, hurry up and go back and change into clean clothes." Qin Sen said impatiently.

Chang Anjiu served as a soldier under Qin Sen, and he also knew his temperament, so he hurriedly turned his head and thanked the person in the three-grade official uniform on the side. Zhao Xing had already told him that Qin Sen could let them go like this, and this command was indispensable.

But as soon as he raised his head, he said two words: "Xiaguan ......" suddenly lost his voice.

Qin Sen turned his head to look at Chang An, and when he saw that his expression was different, he immediately asked, "What, Chang An, do you recognize Chang An?" ”

Chang An hesitated, not knowing whether he should tell the truth. Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard Chang Jizong say: "I look at you a little familiar, and your surname is Chang, could it be that you are a member of my Chang family?" "Although Chang Yuchun has no brothers, not even brothers within five suits, but there are still clan brothers, Chang Mao and Chang Sheng brothers have also returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors, and Chang Jizong has also gone back, so it is normal to see a familiar person with a surname Chang guessing like this.

"Lord Chang, the villain is not a member of the Chang clan, the villain's father was originally a personal soldier of King Kaiping, and he also followed the eldest master to the expedition and was given the surname Chang. So the villain is also surnamed Chang. Chang An finally decided to tell the truth.

"Are you the son of my father's own soldier? Then why did you go to Sun Life? Ah, I remember. Chang Jizong said a few words, and suddenly remembered Chang An's matter.

Chang Jizong turned his head to look at Zhao Xing again: "Your father was also from my family." ”

"Yes, Lord Chang." Zhao Xing said.

"The family did deal with the original matter too much, but the things you delayed were too big, and now I have palpitations when I think about it, and my father exiled you in anger."

"Your family is still in the mansion. Chang An, although your father is now too old to fight, his family also has food and drink, and he still has the usual monthly money; Zhao Xing, your family is also on errands, I dare not say how good it is, but it will not starve to death, and no one will abuse them. Chang Jizong said.

"Thank you, Lord Chang." The two of them bowed and said.

"Now that you are also a military general of the imperial court, do you want to redeem your family?" Chang Jizong said again.

"Thank you Chang for your kindness, but now you don't have to. Yongming City is still just a grass creation, everything is very simple, it is better to stay in the capital in Yongming. When the two of us become big officials, or transfer back to the Central Plains, we will redeem our families. Chang An said.

What they said was not in line with the prevailing ideas at the time. Others are just fine, and it's not filial piety not to redeem one's parents for oneself. However, Chang Jizong himself had also been in the border pass, and he knew that the border conditions were difficult, so it was better to be a slave in his house, so he didn't say much.

They said a few more words, and suddenly heard Qin Sen say: "Okay, there is no need to say more about these words, it's not too early at this time, you should go back and rest quickly." ”

Qin Sen had been watching from the side just now, and he didn't say anything. It wasn't until Chang Jizong had nothing to say that he spoke out to relieve the siege.
