Nanming Engineer

Chapter 58 Fireworks
Erji raised his head and said disapprovingly: "What kind of Han nonsense is that? Why should I listen to it?"

Su Le sighed, with a helpless expression on his face: "Ah, I haven't heard of it? It doesn't matter, what I mean is, don't be blinded by the teeny little man in front of you, and focus on the real prey. We heroes in the white mountains and black waters should keep our hearts in mind." Purpose."

Erji shouted: "That's natural. Isn't our goal to recover the property that Prince Yu worked so hard to acquire in Yangzhou?"

Su Le was choked, unable to respond to Erji's words, he was right, the king's decree given to him by Duoduo was indeed clearly written, and the first task was to recover the huge amount of gold and silver. Give him the opportunity to make up for his mistakes and the right to dispatch troops.But the pain of Tu Hai's humiliation and death in Su Le's heart was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't let it go, so he unknowingly put the arrest of Li Tingyu at the top of his trip.

Seeing that Su Le was dull and silent, Erji knew that he had hit the mark, and proudly shouted: "Since you are obsessed with catching that traitor from the southern barbarians surnamed Li, why not do this? You and I divide the troops, and I will go after the one who left in front." Team three, you just stay here and wait for him to show up?"

Immediately he said again: "The ugly words are up front, when I recover the gold and silver property, it will be my credit, you can't snatch it!"

Fu Quan, who was on the side, was angry after hearing this. He couldn't help but say: "Master Erji, Master Sule is the leader of the army appointed by the prince himself. When you say this, do you still take the prince's order seriously?"

Erji gave Fuquan a fierce look, and said angrily, "I just followed the king's order and followed you to this mountain where no shit, but now you are acting recklessly and letting Nanman go, I can't see it." It is you who put Wang Ling in your eyes!"

He waved his hand, and without waiting for Su Le's answer, he clasped his fist slightly at Su Le, turned around and left, and several Bashiku standing quietly in the forest immediately followed with a group of soldiers.They took a few steps back and came to a clearing in the forest, where hundreds of horses were grazing and resting leisurely on the grass.

Erji jumped on a strong horse, raised his giant ax and raised his arms, shouting: "My sons! Follow me to kill the enemy and make achievements!"

With a lift of the rein in his hand and a pinch of his legs, the horse neighed immediately, its four hooves rose, and it rushed out like an arrow. The nearly two hundred Qing soldiers behind them screamed strangely, brandishing their weapons, and followed them. .

After Erji rode his horse through the woods for dozens of steps, he walked out of the woods, and a gentle slope appeared in front of him. He ran down the slope and turned a corner, and he could see the official road where the white-armed soldiers walked past. He led the cavalry behind him, and rushed down like flying hooves.

Su Le was still standing on the hillside, looking through the gaps in the leaves, watching the smoke and dust rising from the cavalry, his brows were deeply wrinkled, his face was ashen, he pursed his lips tightly and said nothing, just clasped the long knife in his hands tightly, almost Want to get out of the water.

Fuquan was at his side, looking back at the hundred soldiers who were still in the forest, and said with a hint of worry in his anger: "My lord, Erji is too presumptuous to act like this!"

The muscles at the corners of Su Le's mouth twitched, and a few words popped out from between his teeth: "Presumptuous? Fuquan, do you and I encounter such things rarely? They deceive you and me to be born as a Jurchen, not a mature woman and really yourself People, how do you put me in your eyes? If it weren't for the prince and king's order, I'm afraid Erji would not come today!"

Fuquan looked younger than Su Le, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a long body and ape arms, strong and powerful, full of vigor, and he became even more angry when he heard the words, and said angrily: "Then, go back and read a copy to the prince, let the prince see you." These arrogant guys can’t live without their food.”

Su Le shook his head: "No, although the prince is very kind to me, he cannot blindly protect and condone me. If he can be merciful and let me make up for my mistakes this time, it is also an extrajudicial act. How can I go to him to complain again? That can only It seems that I, Sule, am incompetent."

Fu Quanchou said: "But when Erji left, he took away all his soldiers. Our 500 people were scattered in various passes. We only have 100 people left here. Isn't it enough?"

Su Le gritted his teeth and said, "If it wasn't for the fact that there are too many passes in the thirteen passes of the Dabie Mountains, just in case, I also set up soldiers and horses to set up ambushes at other passes. What? But it doesn’t matter, judging from the three teams that passed by today, the number of Nanman rebels in each team does not exceed 50 people. With 100 people in my headquarters, there is no problem in taking them by force.”

Fuquan thought about it and said: "Yes, our Qing banner soldiers are invincible in the world. We can defeat ten Nanman soldiers one by one. Even if Li Tingyu has three heads and six arms, he will definitely be captured without a fight."

Su Le nodded slightly, and stopped talking, but called Tian Xiong who was hiding aside, and asked him to continue looking down the hillside without slack.

While talking, there was a faint sound of shouting and killing from behind towards Wuchang Road, and there was a shrill scream coming along with the wind. Everyone understood that it was Erji who had caught up with the third person not long ago. Team members are besieging and killing.

The sound disappeared in an instant, as if the fight didn't last long. After a while, there was silence in the distance, the mountain wind was blowing, and the birds were chirping. In the mountains and forests, a massacre has just occurred.

Fuquan curled his lips: "Erji is a fool, he moves very quickly."

Su Le said calmly: "It's a matter of intention and lack of intention. Cavalry versus infantry, this situation is considered slow."

Fuquan shouted: "Yes, my lord, if it were us, I'm afraid it would take three minutes faster than that Erji."

Hearing this, a slight smile appeared on Su Le's face. He came from a humble background, and Meng Duoduo helped him to carry the Zhengbai Banner. He was not obtained from military exploits, and his reputation was not right, so he had the strongest self-esteem. After appreciating him, he is determined to make contributions and establish a great reputation for his family, so that future generations will no longer be looked down upon by others. Afraid of death, the soldiers under his command are also extremely fierce. In terms of combat bravery, they are unmatched in the Zhengbai Banner.Seeing that this time, as long as he followed Duoduo to conquer Nanjing, he would be able to make meritorious service and be promoted, but unexpectedly, Li Tingyu, a southern barbarian rebel, wiped out his hard work, and the resentment and resentment in his heart were as heavy as a mountain.

Then the smile flashed away, Suler regained his poker face, turned his head and stared at the end of the official road down the hillside, his eyes fierce and full of expectation, as if a team of golden dolls would come out there.

In the boring waiting, it was past noon, the sun was high up, and it was no longer as warm and comfortable as in the morning, and it was so poisonous that it made people dizzy.Although he was hiding among the bushes, Tian Xiong was already sweating profusely. His eyes were a little dazzled after looking at it all morning. He wanted to beg for forgiveness, so he went to the side to take a rest and drink some water. The general of the Qing army, Su Le, still maintained his standing posture, looking steadily down the mountain.Tian Xiong thought for a while, licked his lips again, and continued to be his watchman without saying a word.

At about [-]:[-] p.m., the most drowsy and sluggish time of the day, a group of people suddenly appeared in Tian Xiong's field of vision. Walking on the official road with great strides, who is it if it's not Li Tingyu?

Tian Xiong was squinting his eyes to be lazy, saw it in a trance, suddenly became aroused, stretched out his hand to rub his eyes, took a closer look, jumped up, turned his head and was about to shout.

A big hand stretched out and tightly covered his mouth, the owner of the big hand asked coldly, "But it's here?"

Tian Xiong nodded desperately.

Suler let go of his hand, turned around and walked into the forest. His steps were vigorous and vigorous, not at all like someone who had been standing all morning. When they saw him coming, the soldiers who were sitting or lying among the trees all immediately stood up. Suler was calm. Face, trying his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, waved his hand, and led the soldiers towards the horses in the open space. No one of the more than 100 people behind him made a sound, followed his pace, walked to the open space and rode on the horse. .

Su Le jumped on his thousand-mile steed, took off the helmet from the saddle, put it on his head, adjusted the blade, took the longbow in his hand, and looked back.

A hundred cavalrymen stood quietly behind him, watching Su Le's every move, everyone's eyes glowed eagerly. They all knew that the Lord had arrived at the foot of the hillside, and after waiting for two and a half days, they would be ready when they made meritorious deeds. Towards the end of the day, the Qing Dynasty regards war as its honor and military merit as its honor. They have a nature that is almost worshipful of killing.

Suler looked at the healthy soldiers of his men, and a rush of blood rushed to his head. The strong fighting spirit drove away all reason. At this moment, he had been waiting for a long time, and the power in his blood vessels was about to be released.He raised the bow in his hand, wanting to give the signal to charge.

In the distant sky, just at this time, a colorful firework rose, a colorful firework exploded high in the sky, against the scorching sun, it seemed to bloom a gorgeous colorful flower.
