Horse on the World

Chapter 971

"Let's go back!" Zhang Aimin turned around desolately, grabbed the saddle with both hands, stepped on the stirrups, and was about to get on the horse, but unexpectedly his legs gave way and fell off with a slap, almost falling down.

Although already over 50 years old, Zhang Aimin's skills have always been very vigorous. At this time, he stumbled in the movements that he had been doing for almost his entire life. Obviously, the shock in his heart was too great, and what he saw and heard really hit him.Several personal guards hurried over and helped him onto the horse.

The horse's hooves stepped on the snow, making a rattling sound, and the group returned to Donglin City in silence.

There were chaotic footsteps behind her, and Zhang Aizhen turned her head, with anger showing on her face, it was the escaped soldiers from the second bastion.

"Stop!" Zhang Aizhen yelled violently, and Heng Dao immediately blocked her in the middle of the road.

The soldiers who fled in panic stopped in horror. They knew that the general blocking the road at this time turned out to be the chief general of Donglin City.

"Where's your captain?" he growled.

The whistle chief, who had lost his helmet, knelt down in front of Zhang Aizhen with a plop, his face pale. As an officer, he naturally knew what would happen to him.With a choking sound, Zhang Aizhen pulled out her saber, held it high, and was about to strike it down, but Zhang Aimin stretched out her hand and supported his arm.

"Why did you run?" Zhang Aimin lowered his head and asked, without any emotion in his tone.

The whistle chief raised his head and recognized this man as the commander in chief of Minzhou. He trembled and whimpered, "Commander, we can't win, we can't win. The first bastion has 500 people, even the opponent's shadow I didn’t even see it, don’t kill more than [-] people, the rest are behind me, commander, we can’t win.”

"Damn me for disturbing our army's morale!" Zhang Aizhen said angrily.

Zhang Aimin shook his head at him. The spirit of the officer in front of him had been completely destroyed by Dingzhou's Shenwei cannon. At this time, he was not as good as a recruit who had never been on the battlefield. During his military career in the past few years, he has seen many, many things. In fact, he is not like this now. In the Tai Chi Hall in Luoyang, he read Qiu Zhi's legacy and listened to Bao Mian's description. It is far inferior to the feeling of being on the scene. The ground shaking, destroying the world, and the fortification and defense skills that the generals of the Central Plains are proud of are completely useless in front of this kind of weapon. Attacking from inside and outside, no catapult with a long range can pose a threat to it, and the only thing that can limit it is the army's charge, rushing to him, making it useless, but the process of charging that is several miles away How many soldiers will fall in this kind of bombing. When the bombed army rushes up, even if they rush up, facing the Dingzhou army, which is known as the unparalleled military force in the world, will they have the slightest chance of winning? ?

"It's useless to kill!" Zhang Aimin said wearily. "Take off your military uniform, go!" Zhang Aimin whispered to the officer, "Go home and become a farmer."

"Thank you, Commander, for not killing me!" the whistle chief whimpered, his eyes full of gratitude, but he quickly took off his armor and military uniform without hesitation, and in front of everyone, he only wore a pair of shorts , shirtless, spread his feet, and ran to the other side.

With a whoosh, a feathered arrow flew out from among the soldiers behind Zhang Aimin, and shot the whistle chief down on the snowy ground. The strong force pinned him to the ground, and the whistle chief tried his best to turn his head away. , looking at the team behind him, his face was full of pain and disbelief.

"It's useless to kill!" Zhang Aimin murmured and repeated, but he didn't blame the angry guard beside him, shook his horse's rein, and ran towards Donglin City.

"Release!" Chen Zeyue held both sides of the wheelchair vigorously with both hands, staring at Le Buping and another general beside Qian Duo, and said gloomyly.

Under the gaze of Chen Zeyue, Le Buping and the general immediately let go of Qian Duo's hands, and moved a step away, as if they had nothing to do with them.

"Ouch!" Qian Duo frowned, tilted his body, as if he was about to fall.

"Stand straight!" Chen Zeyue roared angrily.

Qian Duo shook his body, subconsciously stood up straight in front of Chen Zeyue.

"The foot is well bandaged. Is the injury serious? Would you like me to take a look for you?" Chen Zeyue paused every word.

Qian Duo blinked, looked at Chen Zeyue, and suddenly stretched out his foot and stamped on the ground, "Ah! It's so strange, it was in excruciating pain just now, but when I saw General Chen, the pain disappeared, and all diseases disappeared. General Chen, you are amazing, hahaha..." Qian Duo tilted his neck, laughed dryly, and laughed several times. Looking at Chen Zeyue's murderous eyes, he finally couldn't stop laughing, and opened and closed his mouth silently.

"That's right, my feet don't hurt anymore, but my butt is about to hurt. Anyway, I'm a genius doctor. After a while, my butt will bloom. When you see me, it won't hurt anymore. You'll still be alive and well, come and fight." , drag this thing out for me, forty army sticks!" Chen Zeyue roared.

When Qian Duo heard this, he immediately threw himself on the ground and said, "Forgive me, General Chen, if you lose the general before the battle, it's bad luck, please send the general's stick first, and after the battle is over, you can spank my ass again." !"

With a puffing sound, Qingfeng, who was slowly drinking tea, spewed out all the tea in one mouthful, followed by a burst of violent coughing, laughing while coughing, has she really never seen such a generous general?
Qingfeng smiled, and Xia Xue and Qiuping behind her were originally tense, but they couldn't help laughing out loud at this moment, and others like Wang Yan and Le Buping were after all Chen Zeyue's direct subordinates, seeing Chen Zeyue's The black faces are all trying to bear it, but from their squinted eyes and shaking bodies, one can know their mood at the moment.

"You, you..." Chen Zeyue pointed and knelt in front of the table, his buttocks were pouted, and he was getting a lot of money from kowtowing, but he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

"Chen, General Chen, it's a good idea to have a lot of money. It's unlucky to blame the general before the battle. Besides, it's not worth it for you to get angry with him. I'll ask him for favors." , let’s send the general stick first, and talk about it later, how about it?” Qingfeng smiled blushingly, clutching his stomach, and said to Chen Zeyue.

Chen Zeyue sighed, he was the chief instructor of a military academy, and he always puts the most emphasis on military appearance and discipline, but he was born with such a rough general, and he was registered with the lord, and he was also the first one under his command to be awarded a battalion name Of course, Wang Yan’s cannot be counted, and Qian Duo can be regarded as his direct line anyway.Normally, I disciplined him very strictly, but I didn't turn around his greasy habit of rolling around. Now that Qingfeng intervened, my plan to take the opportunity to beat him was defeated again.

He waved his hand, and said to Qian Duo, "Le Buping, drag this thing out for me, don't be ashamed of yourself here!" After hearing this, Le Buping grabbed Qian Duo, with the wind blowing under his feet, and flew Then ran out.

The sound of footsteps was still in their ears, and everyone in the tent heard Qian Duo laughing outside again, "It's over again, it's over again!" "Be quiet!" This is Le Buping warning him, everyone Finally, they couldn't hold back anymore and burst out laughing together.

Chen Zeyue himself shook his head and laughed, "I made the dean laugh, this bastard, I really can't do anything about him, if the dean didn't plead for mercy today, I will definitely not forgive the forty army sticks."

"He's a happy fruit!" Qingfeng said with a smile: "With him here, any tense atmosphere will be eliminated by him. This unscrupulous general opened my eyes this time. General Chen will find a chance in the future. It's true." We need to repair him, but for now, let’s send the military stick first, I heard that he is a lucky general, with him around, the soldiers will feel at ease.” Qingfeng laughed.

Chen Zeyue shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about him, Dean, do you think today's good fight will make Zhang Aimin make his final decision?"

"Since he has this heart, then we don't have to worry that he won't be shaken. What we have to do is to make this gap in his heart bigger!" Qingfeng said, "I think that if Zhang Aimin's news about today's battle situation is reported, he will revisit it. Consider his decision. Let’s wait for a few days, and if there is no movement, we will fight again.”

Chen Zeyue nodded slightly, "With the Shenwei cannon, even if he really doesn't surrender, I am confident that I can take down Donglin before the Chinese New Year."

"It's the best policy to subdue the enemy without fighting!" Qingfeng said, "More than ten mighty cannons are more than enough to attack these bastions, but not enough to attack Donglin City."

The speed of Zhang Aimin's reaction surprised Qingfeng and Chen Zeyue. After only one night, following a fast horse from Donglin City into Chen Zeyue's camp, seeing the joy on An Ruosu's face, Qingfeng and Chen Zeyue immediately Understand, the event is over.

"An Ruosu has met the dean and general Chen!" An Ruosu paid homage to the two of them. Ever since Shang Shuhuan killed Yuan Fang and retired to Qingyang, An Ruosu, who had been following Shang Shuhuan, was ordered to infiltrate Donglin.

"Why is there news so soon?" Qingfeng looked at An Ruosu and asked.

"Dean, Zhang Aimin just came to Donglin secretly for inspection these few days, and Donglin is extremely guarded. Because of our contact with Zhang Aizhen, almost all of us in Donglin City are exposed to the other party's surveillance, and we cannot come out to deliver letters. Zhang Aimin witnessed the Shenwei Cannon's great display of power yesterday." An Ruosu was beaming.

"Has he decided to surrender?" Chen Zeyue held the case with both hands, leaning forward with his upper body, with an extremely excited expression on his face.

An Ruosu nodded vigorously, "Yesterday he met with our person in charge in Donglin, and I went too. Zhang Aimin's energy was broken! He said he was willing to negotiate a surrender! Please ask General Chen to talk to him."

"Where is it?" Chen Zeyue asked.

"Zhangjiatun Baiyanggang!"
