Chapter 4 Tricked~!
Everything is developing in a good direction, and the good makes Downing almost forget that rejection and frustration are the main theme of life.
It wasn't until May that the Suzhou earthquake gave Tang Ning a blow to the head and made Tang Ning sober up.
Not long ago, the governor of Suzhou spent money to invite the Zhenjiang army to quell the bandits, and Tang Ning naturally gladly accepted.
Due to various influences, the number of Zhenjiang troops has expanded from 4,000 after the end of the Qingtang War to 10,000. Some of these people were recruited, and some of them came to visit.
But most of them have one thing in common, and that is zero combat experience.
In Cheng Yang's words, these people are unclear on the training ground, let alone on the battlefield. If you go to the battlefield at this level, isn't that a military merit for the enemy?
Therefore, they need to be trained, and the bandits in various places near Runzhou are undoubtedly the best targets for military training.
Not only did they clean up the bandits and train the soldiers, but the local government would also give a large sum of money as a reward. This kind of thing killing three birds with one stone is what Tang Ning has been doing for the past six months.
However, because of the name of the Zhenjiang Army Tang Killing Star, bandits in the vicinity of Runzhou are not common. Therefore, there are still more than 3,000 people who have not really fought to the death, so Tang Ning sent these 3,000 people out at once.
Suzhou Zhizhou was pleasantly surprised, he felt that this was Tang Ning's warm-hearted performance, so he enthusiastically proposed to be responsible for the grain and grass of the Zhenjiang Army, but Tang Ning refused this proposal in the spirit of helping others, which made Suzhou Zhizhou have a good impression of Tang Ning.
These three thousand people set off at the end of March, Fang Yong and Yang Yingzheng, as well as Xiao Shi and Fang La, all followed, with these four people here, there would be no problems in thinking about it.
To Tang Ning's surprise, the man-made disaster did not happen, but caught up with the natural disaster.
He was far away in Runzhou and knew nothing about the situation in Suzhou. The life and death of 3,000 people were uncertain, and Tang Ning was anxious.
However, Zhu Mian didn't care, he said that in Suzhou, the phenomenon of the earth dragon turning over is very common.
Every three years, it comes almost once. If the earth dragon does not turn over once in three years, the people of Suzhou will reflect on whether they have done something sorry for the earth dragon.
After waiting at home for three days, on the third day, when Tang Ning was about to take people to Suzhou, the letter from Suzhou finally arrived.
The person who sent the letter, Tang Ning, also knew that it was Wu Dazhuang, who was accepted into the Zhenjiang Army when he was on Qin Feng Road.
This time, two hundred of the three thousand people who went to Suzhou were experienced veterans, but I didn't expect that this time he also went to Suzhou with him, it seems that he mixed well in the Wujin camp, at least Shenqian is very optimistic about him, otherwise he would not be sent out.
Wu Dazhuang rushed back, and when he arrived at Tang Ning's house, he didn't even drink saliva, so he reported the situation in Suzhou to Tang Ning.
This
The Suzhou earthquake was extraordinary, the first earthquake seven days ago, and more than a dozen earthquakes in four days. As soon as he stood firm, he began to shake again.
When Wu Dazhuang came from Suzhou three days ago, he was still shaking.
And unfortunately, when this earthquake began, the Zhenjiang army was attacking the bandits' cottage. The earth dragon turned over, the stones on the mountain rolled down, the bandits were too lucky, the Zhenjiang army was too unlucky, and nearly a thousand people were injured and killed by the boulders that rolled down from the mountain.
The rest of the soldiers were also wounded one by one, and they collapsed on the spot and fled in confusion. Afterwards, some people spread rumors that this bandit was blessed by God, and the bandit leader might be able to achieve great things in the future.
As soon as these words came out, countless people nodded yes. Otherwise, this can't be explained, it's too coincidental, how can there be a sudden earthquake in the middle of a war? Moreover, there were no casualties on the bandits' side, but the Zhenjiang army's side suffered heavy casualties.
Tang Ning almost fainted after hearing the chuckle, a total of 3,000 people were sent out, more than 1,000 were smashed by stones and lost their combat effectiveness, and the remaining 2,000 people were all wounded, and the morale of the army was already weakened.
If this matter reaches Zhao Xu's ears, Zhao Xu will not have to peel off a layer of skin on himself? He definitely doesn't care if the earthquake is not an earthquake, he can fight a bandit like this, and he is really not as good as a box soldier.
Tang Ning got up on the spot, said goodbye to his family, and rode to the barracks. A thousand men were ordered, and the order was given to set out for Suzhou immediately after half an hour.
The Zhenjiang army, which was originally very leisurely, became busy all of a sudden, and the personnel who were called immediately began to prepare their weapons and equipment.
Zhang Jingming, who was taking a nap, also got up to dispatch grain and grass, and half an hour later, 1,000 people, including the vehicles carrying grain and grass, had already assembled and were ready to go.
Tang Ning waved his big hand and shouted to set off, and a group of people hurled towards Suzhou.
Two days later, halfway through, I encountered bandits who had robbed the road.
These bandits jumped out and shouted, saying that let Tang Ning and the others surrender obediently, their boss is the true son of heaven who is blessed by God, and those who know each other will put down their weapons, and the boss will definitely spare you from dying.
Tang Ning was furious when he heard this: "Is it you turtle sons? ”
"Yikes! Are you crazy for a shit day? Or do you not understand what grandpa said? Let me tell you one last time, the king of my family is the true son of heaven!
A few days ago, the Tang Killing Star who didn't know whether he was alive or dead brought someone to find the bad luck of the king of my family, but he was invited by the king of my family to Taishang Laojun, and he fled in embarrassment with a little trick, crying dad and calling mother!
The head of that Tang Killer is still hanging at the door of our stockade! I advise you, an unknown junior, not to be a hero, the last time the king of my family invited Taishang Laojun, this time I will invite the Jade Emperor! ”
Tang Ning's hands and feet trembled when he heard this, and Shen Qian was also angry.
As for the other officers and soldiers of the Zhenjiang Army, not to mention, Tang Ning
This time they were all veterans, all of whom had played with gunpowder and incendiary bombs, so naturally they didn't take these bandits seriously.
And hearing that these bandits humiliated Tang Ning so much, they couldn't wait to rush up immediately to skin and cramp these bandits.
The bandit who came out to shout saw that the situation was not right, and he was also a little panicked. But he shouted, "What are you going to do?" What to do? I advise you not to act rashly!
My brothers are watching from the sidelines! ”
When he had finished speaking, he shouted into the grass on both sides of the road, "Brothers, move!" Don't let these officers and soldiers show our brothers to look down! ”
After the bandit shouted, the grass on both sides of the road resounded with a clattering sound. The movement is not small, and it seems that there are many people in ambush on both sides.
Tang Ning sneered: "Why don't you call out all your brothers and let me, an unknown junior, take a look." Maybe I saw that one of my brothers saw the right eye and threw himself under the command of your king? ”
"Hahaha!" The bandit burst into laughter three times, then lowered his head and said loudly, "Call everyone out so that you can catch them all?" Are you stupid?
Tell you, disarm and surrender or die! There is no third way! ”
Tang Ning sighed and said, "That's why you don't have to talk about it?" ”
The bandit sneered: "You're dead!" ”
With that, he took two steps back.
Tang Ning was really afraid that he would set up an ambush on both sides of the road, so when the bandit retreated, he sneaked off his horse with the god and hid behind the shield soldiers, lest he be accidentally shot by an arrow for a while, and the death would be too unjust.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time and there was no movement, suddenly a small soldier of his own side shouted: "General! Look ahead! ”
Hearing this, Tang Ning tiptoed forward and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
At the end of the line of sight, a figure fled on horseback, and the bandit was bluffing with him.
"Tricked! Dog day! Shen Qian was furious, and jumped to his feet to greet the bandit's ancestor for eighteen generations.
Tang Ning closed his eyes, what does it mean to be blinded by an eagle pecked by an eagle all day long? I thought that there was no one in this world who could play with himself, and he was all playing with others.
But now it seems that the master is in the people......
You can't be angry, you can't be angry. As long as you are angry, you will be dominated by anger, and this is also falling into the trap of the other party.
Downing took a deep breath...... Then the more he thought about it, the angrier he became......
It's just a bunch of bandits, isn't it said that they will be destroyed? People like Qingyi Jiegui Zhang were captured alive by Lao Tzu, are you bandits one more egg than him?
So he rolled over and yelled, "Allow the use of gunpowder!" Destroy these dogs as quickly as possible! ”
"Yui!"
