Chapter 72: Unexpected time for the fight (2)

Zheng Yunming seemed to have not noticed the psychological activities of the officials and continued: "The last thing is the most important and urgent thing, which is to organize the army. At present, the official army is separated by the Tartar cavalry and scattered in various places. It is necessary to concentrate them to form several combat-capable field troops, and to arrange defenders on the newly built mountain city. In addition, a new army needs to be recruited and trained to fill the losses of the Shukou army. This is a major event that directly concerns the life and death of Sichuan. I am not afraid of the prefect being accused of this matter. I must arrest it myself."

Peng Daya nodded and said, "I heard that I have received the letter from His Majesty. Everything can be done as cheaply. All the officials from all over Sichuan cooperated with each other."

Zheng Yunming stood up and bowed and said, "There is no need to delay the situation in Western Sichuan. I will set off now and go to Jiading Prefecture to inquire about the enemy's situation and patrol the face-to-face defense."

Peng Daya encouraged a few words of hard work, and thought to himself that this newly promoted young general in Jinghu relied on his elders' elegance, or was he really talented, so let's ask Wang Yasha to give him a try.

During the Tang Dynasty, Jiading Prefecture was called Jiazhou, which was the Jianwei county of the Han Dynasty. Its land was rich in resources, produced many salt and tea, and iron ore. Local Han officials lived in mixed places, and the barbarians were mixed, which was quite difficult to manage. At this time, Jiading Prefecture was crowded with the people of Chengdu who fled from the upper reaches. It was even more noisy and mixed, and it looked like a scene of disaster.

The official boat Zheng Yunming was riding slowly approaching the Jiading Mansion Wharf in this complex. There was no famous national scenery elsewhere in Jiading Mansion, only one place known to everyone in the world, which was the stone-carved Buddha sitting on a thousand-foot cliff. Jiading Mansion is the place where the three rivers gather, and the water is turbulent, and the boats are often destroyed here. The famous monk Haitong of the Tang Dynasty made a great wish to carve an unprecedented cliff carving on the cliff to make a seated statue of Maitreya Buddha to protect the safety of the people of Jiazhou. It took a total of ninety years before and after the Jiading Mansion Buddha and spent hundreds of thousands of people to carve it carefully. It is really the greatest scenic spot of the Chinese Buddhist statue.

Even when Zheng Yunming stood on the dock, he was shocked by the huge Buddha statue. He turned to Yu Jie and said, "The power of faith is so magnificent. With the ability of a mere man and a mere couple, he spent countless hard work and money over the years, and carved such a magnificent Buddha statue on the cliff. If he was to consolidate the army and govern the people with such a spirit, why worry about not expelling the captives?"

Yu Jie nodded and said, "No one can do anything, but what is lacking is both confidence and perseverance. As long as both are both, even the Mongolian army is not invincible. The general has proved this."

Zheng Yunming was about to answer, but suddenly Zheng Xian pointed to the shore behind him and said, "Young Master, it's the local defenders who are here to welcome him!"

Zheng Yunming looked up and saw a military horse coming on the river bank. The tall and tall banner had a big character named Wang, and there was no title of a title. Under the banner, one by one, a large man like an iron tower rode a maroon war horse, with a helmet and armor, and a bow and a knife, walking in front. He was wearing exquisite equipment, but the more than 200 people following him were thin and dry, old, small, and some were wearing broken iron armor. Most people, not to mention armor, even their clothes were ragged and even their clothes were not covered. As for weapons, some were holding wooden bows, some were holding rusty iron swords, some were holding tassels with half of the tassels, and some were even more direct, and they simply followed the team with a wooden stick, and they didn't know whether it was the army to welcome the school or the beggars for a meeting. The team was sparse and mixed, and they ran straight towards the dock with noise.

Ma Guangzu said in surprise: "It's not Wang Kui's army that is the most combat-capable force in Sichuan? Why is it so loose and weak?"

Zheng Yunming smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother Hua, don't worry, let's go ashore and see how the drama of the Wang Tongshen singing."

Everyone came ashore. Seeing Wang Kui's troops struggling for a long time and finally making a formation, Wang Kui brought two deputy generals to pay homage to the deputy envoy who came to the school to review. After both sides' salutes, Zheng Yunming said seriously: "I have heard that the commander-in-chief Ma Jingqiang and the troops are brave. Today, this team does not seem to be in line with the reputation of the commander-in-chief."

Wang Kui said proudly: "Wang has a big army behind him, but he is afraid of scaring the entourage of the little official." He said that, and winked at the deputy general beside him.

That will, and quickly walked to a slightly higher earth slope, and waved the little red flag in his hand. After a while, I heard the sound of people in the depressions and the sound of horse hooves rolling like thunder. Thousands of brightly-clad soldiers turned out from behind the mountain and divided into small groups under the command of the flag. The field in the distance was like a boiling pot.

The deputy general shook his little red flag again, and the army quickly arranged the formation, with a spear like a forest, a strong bow and a hard crossbow behind him, and the two winged cavalry were unsheathed, and the bow was hanging on the strings, staring at Zheng Yunming with a covetous look.

This is a circular array for field defense. There are clear flags and strict formations, and there is no flaw in the slightest.

Wang Kui laughed and asked, "Little official, can Wang's troops deserve the word "elite"?"

Before Zheng Yunming could answer, he shouted at the huge military formation: "Children, come to visit Zheng's comfort!"

The uniform roars of thousands of people overwhelmed the rolling river water: "The Xiong Bian Army will be pleased!"

None of Zheng Yunming's accompanying people looked ugly. They were not here to welcome the proofreading, but they were clearly here to give the new deputy supplication a warning. Only Zheng Yunming's expression did not change at all, but instead said to Wang Kui with a smile: "The formation is strict, the soldiers are well-off, and the ruler is worthy of being a pillar of the independent support for the overall situation in southern Sichuan."

Wang Kui was secretly happy in his heart. He said that this kid had done a great contribution in Jinghu. When he saw this today, he was frightened by his own people and immediately changed his attitude. He was just an ordinary official, and he held this little official into his hands and reported his contributions at will in the future. He was just around the corner. So he stepped forward and said, "Please go to Jiading City to rest!"

"No, no, no, no," Zheng Yunming waved his hand and said, "I'll wait a little longer." He said that, and made a gesture to Ren Xiongwei behind him.

Ren Xiongwei reached out and took out a cannon barrel, lit it with a torch and inserted it on the ground. A thunder erupted in the air on a sunny day.

Not long after, I heard the sound of the river water in the distance like a tide and the sound of thunder rolling over. Teams of water whistle and horse boats at the mouth of the Jiajiang River flew over the noisy slogans, and slapped into a formation of geese feathers among the snow-white waves. The formation was unevenly towards the dock. The land-based group of people poured out from the valley with the rumbling drums. Under the high military flags, soldiers in shiny armor divided into four columns and stepped forward in a row. The most terrifying thing was not the equipment and weapons of the coming army, which far exceeded the troops' invincible army, but when thousands of troops were moving forward in an entire team, they could only hear dense footsteps and horse hooves, without a single quarrel of people and horses. The discipline was so strict that it was incredible.

Amid the sound of war drums, the army drove hundreds of steps away from Wang Kui's troops. The two wings of the cavalry were spread out. The musketeers and crossbowmen broke out of the formation and stood in three rows in front of the formation. The spearmen stabbed the spears into the sky one by one. The halberd soldiers raised their weapons. The branches of the halberd were blown by the wind, as if they were continuous forests. Some people also slapped the two-wheeled carts carrying wooden and bamboo tubes into a row before the army horses, and the black holes of the tube were towards Wang Kui's subordinates.

Zheng Yunming looked at Wang Kui's face suddenly changing, and the two deputy generals also looked fearful and smiled and said, "The commander will be panicked. I am only afraid that the army will be frightened by the commander, so I come first by boat."

He shouted to the magnificent Jingchu Army Formation: "Salute to Wang Tongzheng and his fellow comrades in Shu!"

Wang Deng, who was riding a white horse in front of the team, shouted, the musketman raised his gun to the sky, and the gunman of General Zhu also raised the gun to the sky. The sky and the earth were immediately covered by a rumbling thunder. In the smoke of fire, a huge roar shook the eardrums of Wang Kui's subordinates. The loud noise of soaring into the sky even made the small stones on the cliff on the other side roll down slowly. Seeing the army approaching, Wang Kui's army, which could still maintain basic calm, was immediately in chaos in the face of this soul-shaking loud noise. Many people involuntarily discarded their weapons, and some people began to run away in panic.

Not to mention that Wang Kui's deputy generals looked like earth and were trembling, even Wang Yasha himself had a pale face and could not say a word for a long time. He thought that after Cao You heard that after the war was gone, his troops would not be the best in the world, but should be one of the few powerful troops in the Southern Dynasty. In the future, the court would definitely rely on him. Unexpectedly, there was no real confrontation with Zheng Yunming's team today, and his troops were all defeated, and his arrogance immediately dispersed.

Zheng Yunming looked at the trembling look of Wang Kui and held back his smile and comforted him: "You guys are reckless, don't blame me for the rule. Qu Chu was scared away by this formation at the beginning. Tens of thousands of elite cavalry were defeated before they could fight."

Wang Kui smiled and said, "I only know today why even new Mongolian generals like Tasi have repeatedly failed to fight the hands of officials. Such wind and thunder are indeed difficult for mortals to resist."

Zheng Yunming smiled and shouted, "Malay!" A soldier from Beiwei quickly brought his mount. Zheng Yunming turned over his horse and urged the horse to the center of the two armies. He shouted at Wang Kui's subordinates: "I, the commander of Quanzhou, Zheng Yunming, deputy envoy of Kuizhou Road, came to the manager of Sichuan under the order of the court. The general came to Sichuan, not to seek wealth, not to seek official positions, and not to seek fame, just because Sichuan is the foundation of the country, as long as Sichuan is occupied by the Tartars.

, the thousands of people and country downstream are inevitably defeated by the hands of the Hu people. Today I am here to fight with you, not only for your own life and fame, but also for the ancestors' ancestral temples to not fall into the hands of those barbarians on the grassland! You are all raised by your parents and earn the salary of the court.
