Chapter 1331 Ten Heavenly Kings (2)

The chief military officer's gaze fell on Fang Jianming's face. He didn't know what was going on, but when he saw Fang Jianming clearly, he was slightly taken aback.After a while, he seemed to have thought of something, his face changed, and he cupped his hands at Fang Jianming and said, "May I ask your Excellency?"

Fang Jianming said: "Jianming is below."

The chief military officer let out an "Ah", hurriedly dismounted from his horse, saluted Fang Jian and said, "Little General Zhou Chong, see you Lord Marquis."

Fang Jianming asked in surprise, "Have you seen me?"

The military officer named Zhou Chong replied: "To tell you the truth, during the defense of the capital, the young general once met Hou Ye in his tent. Since then, he has admired him very much. Just now, the young general met Hou Ye , then boldly guessed, it really is you."

Fang Jianming said "Oh", and said with a smile: "General Zhou, are you leading a team to attack Wang Ahu's group?"

Zhou Chong hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."

Fang Jianming said: "Excuse me, do you know where the Andu Cave Master is now?"

Zhou Chong said: "Master Hou and Cave Master Andu know each other?"

Fang Jianming smiled and said, "He and I are friends. His children, Anwu and Annie, have a very good relationship with me. If you know where they are, please take us there. Maybe we can help."

Zhou Chong thought for a while and said, "Okay, Lord Hou, please follow me." After speaking, he flew on his horse.He flattered the horse and wanted to move, but no matter how he drove it, he couldn't make the mount move forward.

It turned out that although his mount was a battle-tested war horse, after seeing the old man's white tiger, he was too frightened to come over. As for the war horses of other officers and soldiers, he only dared to stand at a certain distance, and some of them began to feel uneasy Woke up.

Seeing this, the old man Baihu knew what was going on, he smiled "haha" and said, "I think I'd better follow behind quietly, so as not to delay the time." After speaking, he patted Baihu on the head.As if the white tiger knew what he wanted, he flew away and disappeared into the mountains very quickly.Once the old white tiger left, Zhou Chong's mount dared to move forward.

So Fang Jianming and his party joined Zhou Chong's party and headed east.After traveling for more than [-] li, I saw in the distance to the north that there were many troops stationed all over the mountains and plains, at least tens of thousands.Most of them are officers and soldiers of Ming Dynasty, and a small part are Miao soldiers.

When everyone got off their horses, Zhou Chong took Fang Jianming and others to the camp. While walking, a man suddenly came galloping from the left, with a face full of surprise, he shouted from afar: "Master Fang, why are you here?" ?”

Fang Jianming turned his head and saw that it was Ardahan, so he hurried over to catch up with him.Seeing that Fang Jianming and Ardahan knew each other, Zhou Chong knew that he didn't need to lead the way, so he left.

After Adahan learned of Fang Jianming's intentions, he was very happy, and said as he walked, "Master Fang, with your help, let alone ten heavenly kings, even a hundred heavenly kings, we will not be afraid."

Not long after, a group of people walked into a large tent.Cave Master Andu, An Wu, and An Ni were talking in the tent, when they saw Fang Jianming and others coming, they were very unhappy, and had to reminisce about the old days.During the conversation, it was already dark, and the master of Anwu Cave asked people to bring the food to the tent, and everyone ate there.

At this time, more than a dozen people came into the tent and greeted Fang Jianming.The Andu Cave Master introduced to Fang Jianming one by one. Except for the two eunuchs who were the supervisors, the others were all the chief generals of Wang Ahu's group in this encirclement and suppression.Fang Jianming could tell at a glance that most of the dozen or so generals were proficient in martial arts. He was a little surprised when he thought that the imperial court sent an army of tens of thousands, but they were unable to take down Wang Ahu's group.

After everyone sat down again, Fang Jianming asked one of the eunuchs named Su Qing: "Eunuch Su, can you tell me the details of this battle?"

This eunuch named Su Qing had met Fang Jianming when he was on duty in the palace. However, there were too many eunuchs in the palace, so Fang Jianming didn't have much impression of him.Although Fang Jianming is now the head of the Diancang Sect, he is still Xiaoyaohou. Since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne, everyone in the palace has valued Fang Jianming. Fang Jianming, once he knows, no one dares to offend.

Su Qing smiled and said: "Master Hou is being polite. I think back then, Lord Hou and Mr. Yu Ge presided over the overall situation, and was able to repel the Oirat army. How can anyone be able to compare such meritorious deeds? Master Hou wanted to know about the war. It's too easy." Turning to one of the chief generals, he said, "General Wu, it's up to you to tell Lord Hou."

After hearing this, General Wu said: "Okay." He said to Fang Jianming: "Master Hou, in the past few days, we have fought many tough battles with Wang Ahu and his gang, and we have hurt each other. Until the first two days, because of the increase in troops, Only three victories have been fought. The Lord Hou may ask, no matter how many Wang Ahu and his gang are, at most they are only tens of thousands. Why can’t we deal with them so far when we have an army of tens of thousands in Ming Dynasty? The reason is that, first, Wang Ahu and his gang Familiar with the terrain, it is easy to move. Second, Wang Ahu and his gang are very strong, especially Wang Ahu and his nine brothers. Not half of them."

Fang Jianming was shocked when he heard this, and said, "Aren't they afraid of muskets?"

General Wu did not answer this time, and An Wu said: "Yes. At the beginning, we didn't know that the ten brothers had such abilities. We thought that once a war started, the opponent would definitely be defeated. How did we expect them to rely on martial arts? , not afraid of swords and guns, and killed many people in our army. Several times we fought, our army had to retreat because the ten brothers were too tough. Later, the capital sent a team of musketeers from the Shenji Battalion to fight After a few times, the ten brothers Wang Ahu gradually felt a little scared. Although they were not afraid of muskets, they could not help being a little bit pained after being beaten a lot. In the past two days, they dare not fight, and they just arrested some civilians as shields."

Long Biyun asked: "I wonder if you have any countermeasures?"

Hearing this, Su Qing showed a hint of arrogance on his face, and said: "My Ming army of tens of thousands has already guarded all the main roads with a radius of hundreds of miles, and when the time comes tomorrow, we will attack the rebels together." Launch a fierce siege, this time the ten brothers Wang Ahu will definitely be captured."

Long Biyun said: "If you do this, aren't you afraid of hurting those common people?"

Su Qing made a sigh, and said: "This is a last resort. If this stalemate continues, no one will be able to bear the blame if the Holy Majesty blames it."

Fang Jianming thought for a while and asked, "Grandpa Su, when will our army leave tomorrow?"

Su Qing said: "Mao time."

Fang Jianming said: "Could it be half an hour earlier?"

Su Qing was startled, and said, "What does Hou Ye mean?"

Fang Jianming said: "I want to see if I can save those common people."

Su Qing said: "This..."

Fang Jianming said: "Eunuch Su, don't worry, no matter how bold I am Fang Jianming, I dare not make fun of such things. If there is no chance, I will never act rashly."

Su Qing thought for a while, discussed with the cave master of Andu, General Wu and others, and agreed to Fang Jianming's request.Although their army set off half an hour earlier, the entire radius of a hundred miles was under the control of the Ming army. Forgive Wang Ahu and his gang could not come up with any tricks. If Fang Jianming and others can really save those people, in the end, The imperial court will never lose their share in rewards for meritorious deeds, so why not do it.

After the matter was settled, the master of Andu Cave asked someone to arrange tents for Fang Jianming and others to live in.Not long after Fang Jianming entered the camp, he came out quietly by himself, performed the supreme lightness kung fu, and left the camp without anyone noticing.

When he came to a place where no one was around, he jumped up a high slope and was looking around when he suddenly heard someone laughing from the east: "Little brother, are you looking for me?" Sweeping out, he arrived in front of Fang Jianming in the blink of an eye.The woods were no less than two miles away from the high slope, and he arrived as soon as he said it. This lightness skill is really frightening.

After Fang Jianming told the old man Baihu about his plan, and asked the old man Baihu to come out to help at that time, the old man Baihu smiled and said: "I may not do murder, but saving people is a matter of great merit. I said I will do my best in everything. Little brother, don’t worry, you and I will join hands, even if it is a big thing, we will definitely be able to do it.”

Fang Jianming said: "Well, then I will use the whistle as my name, and you can come out whenever you hear my whistle."

The old man Baihu said: "That's all we've settled, is there anything else?"

Fang Jianming said: "It's gone."

The old man Baihu said with a smile: "Then you go back to your barracks, and I'll go back to my woods, get a good night's sleep, recharge your spirits, and show off your skills tomorrow."

Fang Jianming said: "If that's the case, the younger generation will go." After speaking, he shook his body, went down the high slope, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.

Nothing happened all night, and the next day, the army was ready to go, and with the slogan of marching, the army began to set off.

After walking for more than half an hour, the spies in front reported that it was only three miles away from where Wang Ahu and his group were.After the army had a short rest, the military flag flew up, and the team advanced neatly for more than a mile.

At this time, Wang Ahu and his gang had already received their own jar in return, saying that the officers and soldiers were approaching.Wang Ahu and his gang didn't know that the catastrophe was coming, they were very arrogant, they only deployed [-] Miao soldiers in front of the stronghold, one of them, the Heavenly King, led dozens of tall Miao people who looked like tigers and wolves, and escorted [-] or [-] Miao soldiers. The people walked out of the Miao Village.

Those people include Miao and Han, men and women, and what's more hateful, there are also young children and elderly people.Some had their hands trapped, and those who didn't had their hands trapped all looked exhausted. Even if they wanted to escape, they didn't have much strength.

Fang Jianming and the others saw it from a distance, and they wished they could come forward to rescue him immediately, but they knew it was not the time yet, so they had to wait patiently.An Wu stretched out his hand and pointed at the arrogant Miao Heavenly King, and Fang Jianming said, "Master Fang, that man is the sixth of the Ten Heavenly Kings, named Zhang Abao."
