In the early morning of autumn, there was a chill in the wind. But for some reason, Ao Dun suddenly woke up from his sleep in the greenhouse. He had a dream, and he dreamed that he was beheaded, and his head was like that.
Hanging on the flagpole at the entrance of the town.
In his early years, when he was not debuting, an expert once gave advice. He said that if Ao Dun committed an offense against Tai Sui when he was thirty-nine years old, he would suffer a bloody disaster. If he escaped this disaster, he would be able to see red and gain in life. It is a coincidence that Ao Dun will be successful this year.
Dun happens to be thirty-nine years old.
When Qingyang City was destroyed, Ao Dun originally thought that his life was at stake, but he never expected to escape the disaster and brought thousands of troops with him. The reason why Ao Dun huddled in Pingliang Town was because he wanted to live in peace.
He spent the New Year peacefully and avoided this disaster in his life. Unexpectedly, a nightmare frightened him out of his mind.
This is a sign, and Ao Dun is convinced of it. Although Ao Dun is now nearly forty years old, he is still brave and strong. This is due to his lack of sexual desire for women. An expert at that time once reminded: If you want to succeed
To escape disaster, you must stay away from women. This is why Ao Dun has not had a woman until now.
Ao Dun got up and changed his clothes, called someone to wait on him and put on his armor, and even hung his sword on his waist. Thinking that it was not enough, he went to hold his purple gold sword in his hand, and then went down to discuss the matter under the protection of the soldiers.
hall.
The generals were summoned to discuss matters, and all the subordinate generals entered the hall while dozing off. Ao Dun saw the sleepy looks on everyone's faces, and couldn't help but feel angry. Then he stood up and slammed his sword on the ground, and then gave a sharp shout.
: "Cheer up, everyone."
All the generals were alert and alert, and each of them stood with their backs straight, showing an air of might.
Ao Dun thought for a while and felt uneasy, so he immediately ordered: "General Sun Qian and Fang Daxia are invited."
The messenger soldier ran away to deliver the message and came back soon.
"General, General Sun Qian and Fang Daxia left last night."
"What?" Ao Dun was not only angry, but he also lacked two helpers at the critical moment. How could this make him not angry?
All the generals didn't know what happened, and not only looked at each other face to face.
Ao Dun sighed and said: "Forget it, let's go." After saying that, he looked around at the generals in the hall and said loudly: "Our army has expanded too quickly, and the soldiers and horses have not been drilled. From today onwards, the whole army will get up at 00:00 to train until
At the first quarter of noon, take an hour's rest at noon, and continue practicing at noon until dark. If anyone neglects, military law will be imposed."
As soon as these words came out, the generals started talking like a pot. When Ao Dun saw this, he said angrily: "What are you arguing about?"
The General Manager of the Infantry Battalion is called Ha Shigang. He is a Semu man and a close confidant of Ao Dun. He usually acts cautiously, but he is quite scheming. Seeing that Ao Dun was angry, he not only stepped out of the queue and clasped his fists towards Ao Dun and said: "General Rong Rong"
Endowment.”
When Ao Dun saw Ha Shigang, his anger was reduced by three points. When he saw this, he hummed: "Speak."
Ha Shigang then said slowly and calmly: "Most of the soldiers in the army are new recruits, and their backgrounds are quite mixed. If the control is too strict in a hurry, I'm afraid there will be trouble." Ha Shigang said this very cryptically, but his meaning was very clear:
The new recruits are all wealthy people from the world, bachelors and poor men who have no money to eat, and there are also some local scoundrels. If these people are controlled by military law, half of them will escape in less than three days.
Hearing this, Ao Dun not only said angrily again: "Are we going to wait until the Ming army arrives before we start training?" As soon as Ha Shi was robbed, he was speechless. Ao Dun looked at the generals and said sternly: "The Ming army has already reached the door of his house.
, how long are you going to allow your soldiers to be dissolute?" All the generals were obedient, and no one dared to breathe a loud sigh of relief.
Ao Dun was walking back and forth in the hall, and suddenly he was startled when something sounded, and he immediately ordered: "Ha Shigang."
"My subordinate is here." Ha Shigang stepped forward quickly to obey the order.
Ao Dun thought for a moment and then said: "From today on, your infantry battalion will not only patrol Pingliang Town, but also the thirty miles outside the town will be under your control. Make sure to patrol day and night without any mistakes."
Ha Shigang immediately clasped his fists and said: "I will obey the general's order."
Ao Dun snorted, then waved his hand and said: "You go down, and immediately gather all the troops to patrol Rao Town."
Ha Shigang once again handed over his hands and said: "My subordinates resign."
As soon as Ha Shi left the hall, he couldn't help but groan in his heart. There were two thousand people in the infantry battalion, patrolling Pingliang Town day and night? Even so, the two thousand people could only be divided into three teams, with each team having 600 people patrolling for four hours. He took two
Hundreds of people were dispatched. With the plan in mind, Ha Shigang went straight back to the infantry camp. First, he found a few of his capable subordinates and gave them orders one by one. To show fairness, Ha Shigang volunteered to be on duty in the first shift.
.
Riding on the horse, Ha Shigang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Except for a few birds chirping this morning, there was no one to be seen, but what kind of patrol was he doing?
This Ha Shi must have just had his head opened. He had just finished thinking here when a horse came towards him. The man on the horse was wearing a helmet and armor and holding an iron gun, and the maroon horse under his crotch was very handsome. At a glance, it was really...
As majestic as a god descending to earth.
Ha Shigang had already seen the person coming, but he couldn't see clearly even though the morning fog had not cleared. When he walked in with his two hundred soldiers, he was so frightened that he almost wet his crotch. "It's the Ming army." Ha Shigang shouted,
He immediately turned his horse to run away. But then he realized something was wrong. He turned around and saw that he was the only one coming. Where could there be other generals?
Thinking of this, Ha Shi just turned his horse's head back, stretched out his hand on the saddle hook and took off the big knife.
"Come on, general." Ha Shigang asked arrogantly. With two hundred soldiers behind him, why are you afraid of just one person? Ha Shigang is also quite proud of his martial arts. He usually bets with the soldiers in the camp.
Even three or five people can't get close to him during the fight. If he sees a Ming army at this moment and runs away, he will be looked down upon by his subordinates.
"Zhang Dakui, the vanguard general of the expedition." Dakui stood up with his spear raised, and there was no emotion in his words. The autumn morning breeze was originally cold, but when he heard Dakui's words, Ha Shigang not only felt a chill down his spine.
I have heard of Zhang Dakui's name Ha Shigang. He is like a god of war. His deeds of retreating a hundred thousand soldiers and exploring Qingyang City alone are known to everyone among the Yuan soldiers.
.Moreover, when Aodun hosted a banquet for Sun Qian and Fang Jiutian a few days ago, Fang Jiutian also exaggerated Dakui's life experience.
Even Daxia Fang, the Poison King of Miao Territory, is afraid of people with three points, how can he be so incompetent? Who would have thought that when Ha Shi just heard that Dakui announced his family status, he actually laughed and said: "Zhang Dakui, the vanguard general of the conquest? You are the only one?"
Who do you want to conquer alone?" Ha Shigang smiled wildly. It was not that he was not afraid of Dakui, but that he simply did not believe that the person in front of him was Zhang Dakui.
How can there be such a coincidence in the world? I just heard about Zhang Dakui’s name the night before, and now I see him today?
Da Kui smiled but didn't answer, and Ha Shigang sneered and said, "Whether you are true or not, we will wait until I capture you." As soon as he finished speaking, he rode his horse and raised his sword and went straight to Da Kui to kill him.
The two were only twenty battles apart. Ha Shi just rushed to ten feet, but Dakui remained motionless. Just as Ha Shi just advanced five feet further, Dakui moved. I saw Dakui shaking his right hand and hitting a stone.
The pebbles were carried away by the strong wind, heading straight for the front legs of Ha Shigang's mount.
Ha Shigang was charging at full speed at this moment, and the distance of more than ten feet was just enough for the horse to reach its maximum speed. Who would have thought that he could approach Dakui only five feet away, but the horse neighed sadly and lost its front hoof.
.
"Plop!" Ha Shi just gnawed the shit and fell so hard that his whole face fell to the ground. Due to the strong thrust, Ha Shi just rolled on the ground twice before he got up. He felt his face was burning.
The pain was heartbreaking, and he knew that his appearance was disfigured. Although he fell down, Ha Shigang's mind was very clear, but when he was about to stand up, he felt his shoulders heavy. He turned around to look, but it was Dakui holding a gun with one hand.
on his shoulder.
"You are so capable, why should you fight with me?" Dakui smiled slightly, and then continued: "I won't kill you, you go ask Ao Dun to find someone decent to replace you with. If you can't find anyone who can fight with me, call Ao Dun."
Just come here in person. Let’s go!”
Ha Shi just gritted his teeth and knew that he was in trouble today. But his war horse had been trained for a long time, so it should not have lost its front hoof? It can be seen that it must be Zhang Dakui's fault, but his skills are not as good as others, so what can he do?
?
Ha Shigang endured the severe pain all over his body and wanted to stand up slowly. But suddenly a sharp pain came from his right leg. Ha Shigang snorted and fell to the ground again. Dakui laughed and said: "I didn't expect you to be so helpless.
He can't even stand firmly." Then he shouted to a group of Yuan soldiers in the distance: "Two of you, please carry your general back."
The general defeated the formation with one move, and the remaining Yuan soldiers had no intention of fighting again. After hearing Dakui saying that he would not kill Ha Shigang, he also asked them to go over and save people. More than ten people who were friends with Ha Shigang on weekdays rushed up.
Those who came forward raised their arms and those who raised their legs. Others went to lead Ha Shigang's horse and picked up the sword that Ha Shigang had discarded.
Ha Shigang was carried back to the general's mansion in the town by the soldiers and carried into the meeting hall. At this moment, Ao Dun was in the process of arranging the training of soldiers and horses with the generals. When he suddenly saw Ha Shigang being carried into the hall, he was not only dumbfounded
. He ran forward and took a closer look, only to see that half of Ha Shigang’s face was covered in blood and flesh, and he could no longer tell where his nose was and where his mouth was.
Ao Dun was so angry that he grabbed a Yuan soldier who came with him by the collar and asked, "What on earth is going on?"
When the Yuan Bing saw Ao Dun getting angry, he immediately stammered: "Big...big...general...general, there are Ming troops outside the town."
"What?" Ao Dun was filled with anger, but when he heard the Ming army outside the town, his anger suddenly disappeared. He calmed down and slowly let go of his hand, and then went to see Ha Shigang. How could he speak with such an injury? He was helpless.
Next, Ao Dun asked again: "What is going on? How is the battle going? Tell me in detail."
The soldier gained courage and then reported back: "There is only one person outside the town, wearing a Ming army general's armor and riding a tall horse. He also calls himself 'Zhang Dakui'." Hearing the word 'Zhang Dakui', Ao Dun
Not only did he yell: "What happens next? Say it quickly."
The soldier swallowed his saliva and then said: "General Ha Shigang and Zhang Dakui did not fight. General Ha Shigang was knocked down by his horse. Zhang Dakui said that General Ha Shigang was not helpful and asked me to wait until I reported back to the general and fight him in a decent way."
