Chapter 452: The Horse Leather Shroud Does Not Regret
In the early morning, it was just dawn.
The vendors on Jingshi Street had just started pushing caravans out to set up stalls. On the dam outside Sanlihe Street, Jiang Xia was wearing willow-leaf mail, carrying a long sword on his waist, and was riding an Ulan horse on the dam outside the street waiting for the students from the Gaojia led the martial arts lecture hall to come out.
Accompanying Jiang Xia were Xiao Sha, Hai Dayou, Qian Jueshen and Zhang Meng.
Battles on the battlefield are different from those who usually fight against enemies. The reason why Jiang Xia brought them four was Xiao Sha. Hai Dayou could be responsible for defending his safety, and Qian Juexing could aim at the opportunity to attack the enemy's generals.
And what about Zhang Meng?
Giving him a piece of cloud steel golden armor that is hard to hurt by swords and guns, and with his pair of big hammers, he is equivalent to a meat grinder and a big killer on the battlefield.
However, the Yunpin steel heart-protecting golden armor that the Ministry of Works temporarily tailored for Zhang Meng looked like a turtle shell no matter how you look. However, Jiang Xia didn't say anything, because Zhang Meng himself liked the feeling of the golden armored general.
And the turtle shell, combined with Zhang Meng's "Tortoise Hammer", just complement each other?
After waiting for about a cup of tea, Gao Jia soon walked out with the instructors and students from the lecture hall.
Jiang Xia saw Gao Jia and the others from afar with super strong eyesight.
After scanning their equipment, Jiang Xia really had the urge to laugh. He had to sigh that Gao Jia was really a very honest person. He asked him to go to the Ministry of War to choose the best one, but he really didn't give a discount on this order.
From instructors to students in the martial arts lecture hall, they ride all five good horses. The name of this horse may not sound very domineering, but in fact, the horse is tall and large, with strong endurance and explosive power, and is the most suitable war horse for battlefield combat.
It’s just that this horse is too expensive, and there are only more than 5,000 horses in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The more than 5,000 horses all chose the same color as the maroon. Because they are usually used for the emperor's travel and for the guard of honor.
This was not something under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. It was obvious that Gao Jia took Jiang Xia's token and passed the order directly to the Imperial Horse Garden in the Imperial Palace.
If Jiang Xia just took away the good horses from Yumayuan, he wouldn't feel like laughing.
The key point is that from instructors to students in the lecture hall, they all wore water-patterned willow-leaf armor, which is much better than the armor on Jiang Xia.
If Jiang Xia’s memory is correct, that armor should have been built by Zhu Houzhao for the sake of his future tour of Jiangnan, so he spent a lot of money to create it.
Forget the armor, they have a serial crossbow on their saddle and a dragon-bian steel sword. In this piece of equipment, in this era, in the world, there is probably no team that can match it.
Jiang Xia smiled and shook her head, watching Gao Jia and the others walking along the way.
Perhaps I am used to being rules and regulations. Even if I ride horses, I walk in a neat row, and the sound of horse hooves is amazingly consistent.
Gao Jia and the others came to Jiang Xia, strangled the reins in a uniform manner, and stopped the horse under their crotch.
Then everyone turned over and dismounted, held the reins and shouted loudly to Jiang Xia: "See sir!"
Jiang Xia nodded slightly and said loudly: "Do you still remember what you said?"
"The horse leather is wrapped in a corpse and is not afraid! There is no regret for blood splattering on the battlefield!"
"Okay!" Jiang Xia said loudly: "Today, the one who rushed to the battlefield with me and fought with me in blood is my brother. Get on the horse and set off!"
"yes!"
"Bang! Bang!" There was a neat sound and a consistent movement. Jiang Xia rode his horse and turned around and walked in front.
Soon in the lecture hall, the horse-striking students from Qitang ran out from their wings and walked in front of Jiangxia.
The crowd rode forward on all kinds of war horses, and the scene was so majestic.
When we reached the city gate, many people had already stood on both sides of the street.
Seeing Jiangxia in front of the team, the people were talking: "Oh, Grand Tutor Jiang finally took action personally. With Grand Tutor Jiang took action, the foreigners will be in trouble this time." "That's right, Grand Tutor Jiang has Grand Tutor Jiang, it's really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty." "Oh, with Grand Tutor Jiang came, my heart was finally overwhelmed."
I don’t know who took the lead and shouted loudly, “I wish Grand Tutor Jiang to kill all the enemy as soon as possible and return triumphantly.”
Soon, the people began to respond and shout: "I wish Grand Tutor Jiang would kill all the enemy troops as soon as possible and return triumphantly!"
The sound seemed to be contagious, and more and more people shouted this sentence. In the end, it gave people the feeling that the entire capital was shouting this sentence.
When the students in the martial arts lecture hall saw the people in the capital so support, they suddenly felt that they were full of heroism. I don’t know which student or instructor took the lead and shouted: “I will never return to death if I never destroy the enemy! I will fight to the death and never retreat!”
"I will never return to the enemy without destroying it! I will never retreat when I speak the spirit of martial arts, and I will never retreat when I fight to the death!" The students in the martial arts lecture hall also shouted in unison, and their morale was extremely high.
Soon Jiang Xia and the others left the gate of the capital and walked about ten miles outside the capital.
Jiang Xia saw his wife and many of the core figures of Thousand Gate brought by Geng Zhongqiu. Jiang Xia did not stop saying goodbye to them one by one, but looked at them with his eyes and nodded slightly.
The eyes of his ten wives were filled with tears, and their reluctance was beyond words.
Finally, Cui Rushuang shouted: "My husband, we will take good care of Sister Ruliu, you must come back safely."
Jiang Xia looked back at Cui Rushuang and nodded heavily.
After leaving the capital, Jiang Xia did not dare to delay too much. This time he did not ask for food, grass and supplies, and directly ordered the people in the lecture hall to take their own dry food to go on the road. Therefore, as soon as Jiang Xia left the capital, he immediately ordered the speed to speed up, and the horses let go of their horses and ran at a very fast speed.
Along the way, Jiang Xia was paying attention to collecting news about the Jingying Army and the Suzhou Army. Finally, after the Liangzhou Guards were broken, they retreated to the Ningxia Central Guards.
Fortunately, these fools were not stupid enough to be fooled. They knew that they were guarding the Ningxia Central Guard, otherwise they would only know how to escape, which would be equivalent to opening the gates of the capital and any Turpan and Oirat coalition forces attacking the capital.
The distance from the capital to the Ningxia Central Defense was not too far. In particular, Jiangxia directly penetrated from Taiyuan, so the speed was very fast.
After about eleven days and nights, Jiang Xia and his group finally entered Ningxia.
Jiang Xia went to Ningxia Guard first because according to the news, many wounded soldiers who had retreated from the front line were basically stationed in Ningxia Guard.
The battle situation of the Ningxia Central Guard was very fierce, and the trilateral coalition forces in Suzhou, the capital and Shaanxi were beaten a little miserably. This is the case, but Jiang Xia had to know what the real situation was.
Jiang Xia was about to go to Ningxia Guard to find someone to ask about the situation, so he went to Ningxia Guard and their garrison.
When he walked outside the Ningxia Guard's garrison camp, he saw that there was no one at the entrance of the camp, and there were not even soldiers guarding the guards. Jiang Xia looked at Gao Jia beside him and asked uncertainly: "Doesn't people usually send guards to the camp where the wounded soldiers are stationed??"
"Impossible. As long as it is a camp, there will be someone guarding me." Gao Jia frowned and glanced around and said, "No, there is no open whistle or secret whistle. Could something happen to this camp?"
The wounded soldiers were stationed in the camp, which was once the garrison of Ningxia Guards.
This is where the soldiers of the guard train and rest.
When I walked into the military camp, because it was a regular camp, it was not just a simple tent, but a house was built.
The front yard is the yamen, and after Jiang Xia and the others walked in, there was no one left.
So Jiang Xia and the others walked to the backyard.
The layout of the backyard is very simple and clear, and it is a very large training playground and a three-row and two-story house. The first floor of the house is where soldiers usually rest, as well as the storage warehouse for all weapons and armor, and the second floor is where officers rest.
Jiang Xia, Gao Jia and his group, as soon as they walked into the backyard, they saw that there were indeed many people wearing Ming soldiers' uniforms on the playground.
Some gathered together to chat, some gathered together to gamble, and some even ate and drank with wine and meat. Jiang Xia clearly heard women's laughter and men's laughter constantly came from the house next to the playground. It was not difficult to guess what they were doing.
"It's outrageous!" Gao Jia stayed in the ranks many times. Although he had seen veterans gambling for prostitution, he had seen soldiers there so many fanfare in the camp and openly gathering people to gamble for prostitution.
Jiang Xia shook his head, not seemingly angry. He whispered to Gao Jia: "These are all soldiers from the Beijing camp. It seems that it is fake to be injured, and it is true to be killed on the battlefield not far away.
It is obvious that Yan Song can no longer control the troops in the Beijing camp. But he didn't expect that a 100,000-strong army in the Beijing camp would become like this, which is really a shame for our Ming Dynasty."
"All gather!" Jiang Xia suddenly roared, and at the same time signaled Gao Jia to ring the tent-raising drum next to the playground.
At first, the heavy drum sound came out, and all the soldiers were stunned. After seeing Jiang Xia and their delicate armor, the soldiers guessed that Jiang Xia and their identities were extraordinary, so they began to gather together in panic.
While gathering, many people still shouted with courage: "Who are you? I warn you that beating the drums will lead to prison. If you are fine, you will play Jun Ye, and see that Jun Ye will not take off a layer of skin."
Jiang Xia and Gao Jia walked to the front of the queue together. Jiang Xia showed his jade-like tiger talisman that represented the greatest military power of the Ming Dynasty and said loudly: "I am the first-rank Taifu in the dynasty. The imperial court was granted the title of General of the Northwest to Pacify the Rebellion. Jiang Xia! From today on, I will officially take over the troops from Jingying, Suzhou and Shaanxi. Why are you standing there? Don't you kneel down to see me?"
Jiang Xia shouted this sentence with the true energy of the three major tripods, and his voice rang in everyone's ears like thunder. After the soldiers were slightly stunned, everyone whispered and discussed: "Jiang Xia! Is he the Grand Tutor of the current dynasty?"
Although the soldiers' military discipline was disbanded, they still did not dare to be arrogant when facing Jiang Xia, the first-class tutor, so they knelt down and saluted: "See sir!"
"Hey! What are you doing?" After hearing the tent-up drum, the officers dressed in clothes finally walked out of the room, shouting while walking.
The women in the room followed, and some even teased at the officers and said, "Uncle, I'll leave first, remember to think about me..."
The soldiers kneeling on the ground made way for the officers, and more than thirty officers came over together.
Some soldiers whispered to several officers what was going on. The officers who knew the situation were shocked and immediately knelt secretly among the soldiers.
The officers who didn't know the situation walked up to Jiang Xia and asked impatiently: "What kind of drums are beating? We are all wounded soldiers and can't go to the battlefield anymore, do you know?"
Jiang Xia looked up at the yelling officer in front of him and asked, "What position do you have?"
"It's okay to say that, I'm the fourth-rank commander-in-chief."
Before the man could finish speaking, Jiang Xia's eyes flashed through his murderous intent, and suddenly pinched the man's neck, and then folded it down hard. Only a crisp sound of "Crack!" was heard, and bubbles of blood appeared from the officer's mouth, and he died like this.
Jiang Xia said in a deep voice: "As a general, he takes the lead in soliciting prostitution and confusing the military camp, and he should be killed!"
The other officers were shocked and before they could react, Gao Jia had already drawn his sword and killed him.
Then, everyone in the martial arts lecture hall rushed in, and the entire backyard was surrounded by the martial arts lecture hall people.
The people in the martial arts lecture hall all drew out their long swords, and some drew out their serial crossbows.
The officers were startled and kneeled on the ground as soon as their legs were weak. However, they were afraid, but they still said, "We are soldiers from the Beijing camp, and you local generals cannot attack us. Also, we are all wounded soldiers."
Before he finished speaking, Jiang Xia pulled out his sword and waved it, and a cold light flashed and cut off the man's throat.
Jiang Xia looked at a soldier beside him who had already kneeled on the ground, raised his chin and said, "Tell them who I am."
The soldier was trembling and never expected that Jiang Xia would be so tough in his methods, and he would kill someone if he had disagreements.
The soldier's voice trembled slightly and said, "Sir, I am the life-threatening tutor of the current dynasty, the first-rank Taifu, Jiang Xia, the general who quelled the rebellion in the northwest. He holds a jade tiger talisman and can control the military power of the world."
"Soon." Jiang Xia nodded, looked at the generals in front of him and said, "How is it? Do you know my identity now?"
"Sir, please spare me, please spare me." The generals knew that it was terrible. The first-rank tutors of the dynasty have arrived. This is equivalent to the arrival of the most powerful figure in the Ming Dynasty. Whoever such a person wants to kill is to be defeated. If you talk, anyone will die.
"If you don't kill you, how can I lead the troops to fight?" Jiang Xia asked back, then said lightly: "Come here, all of them are beheaded on the spot!"
"Yes!" The people from the martial arts hall rushed out one after another and rushed the generals to the playground. Without saying a word, they pulled out the long sword and slashed with one sword. They raised their swords and fell, and their movements were extremely straightforward.
Jiang Xia then looked at the soldiers who seemed to be scared and shouted: "Get together immediately. Those who have not completed the assembly within ten breaths will be punished with ten army sticks!"
