Chapter 769: second to none

  Chapter 769 Unparalleled Under Heaven

   Eating cattle is also a physical activity.

  For example, do not drink water before eating, otherwise it will easily cause the beef to swell in the stomach. Generally speaking, you can eat some hawthorn or plum before eating, so as to increase digestion.

   Do not drink tea in the morning, do not eat steamed cakes, especially eggs.

  At noon, a pot of beef was brought up, and the belt of the trousers was pulled open first, so as not to swell the stomach and cause unpredictable consequences.

  When eating, you must chew and swallow slowly. This is like a long-distance race. You must not take the lead in exerting your strength, and reserve your strength for the last sprint.

When everything is ready, take a deep breath, and then slowly start to taste. This meal must maintain a rhythm. If you are too fast, it will cause weakness in the follow-up. But if it is too slow, the beef in your belly will gradually expand during this meal, and it will be difficult to eat afterward. Swallowed.

  Besides, it is best to prepare a spittoon to avoid vomiting.

  All of this is the experience summed up by people from all over Xishan.

  The farmers all had a bitter face, holding their stomachs, and couldn't bear it. Wow, if they continued to eat, they would not be able to survive.

  I've been a little angry recently.

The wet nurse of the princess mansion is a little angry, eating too much beef, even Xiao Fang's lips are peeled off, he is pouted, his lips are a little swollen, it seems to be a little painful, so he cries every day, very disturbed pregnancy.

  The soldiers and horses did not move, and the food and grass went first. Soon after, the British Duke Zhang Mao set off for Datong.

   But Fang Jifan remained silent.

   Explosive packs and shells still need to be manufactured quickly, because of the emergence of the latest weapons, the flying ball battalion and the carefully selected artillery still need to cram their feet to practice.

  Suddenly, the sound of cannons rumbled from the back mountain, full of murderous aura.

A large number of students from the medical school went ahead, their eyes lit up, the war started, the war started, this time the war started, it was a good time for them to practice their hands, what about connecting fingers, what circumcision... oh no, amputation, There are also various anesthetics and sore medicines that have been prepared recently, which will come in handy. The orthopedics and surgery in Xishan are famous. Su Yue and Jiang Taiyi took all the life staff to Datong urgently. They will quickly Recruit a group of nurses, conduct simple training, and then immediately build a group of silkworm rooms on the Datong line. At the same time, a large number of medicines and utensils need to be packed and taken away.

  Xishan looks much cooler.

  Fang Jifan stood on the top of the hill every day, watching the flying ball battalions take off one by one, throwing one by one to the shooting range.

  Of course, what is thrown is not a dynamite package, which is not easy to build, so we have to use training bombs instead.

   One by one, the flying **** took off one after another.

   Some flying **** were directly blown far away by the wind, and it took a long time before rushing back to the practice field. On the hill, Yang Biao scolded the players with a binoculars, blaming the players for not grasping the wind direction.

   Practiced for more than ten days in a row.

currently.

   An urgent report has arrived in Datong. Zhang Mao, who is sitting here, leads all the generals, his eyes fall on the map, and he looks at the fortresses and fortresses in the map.

  The other generals were silent.

  The urgent report was sent to Zhang Mao, Zhang Mao took the urgent report and saw that there were news of attacks on various military fortresses.

  Overnight, seven or eight fortresses, including Pingyuan Fort, Dingbei Village, and Dongsheng Fort, were all attacked by Tatars.

Fei Qiu, a small team of the Fei Qiu Battalion stationed here, brought back information from outside the pass. The mighty Tatar cavalry, no less than 70,000, even the old and the weak, have come. Obviously, the Tatars are going to be hungry. This time, it is determined to win.

What's even more frightening is that this time the Tatars have obviously learned how to be smart. When they camped, they were never in the canyon. The camps were spread out and kept a distance, so as to ensure that even if they were attacked by the flying ball camp, the losses would be within a controllable range Inside.

  In addition, 70,000 to 80,000 cavalry attacked in different directions. Outside Datong Pass, military forts everywhere were bursting with smoke, asking for help everywhere.

After receiving the report, Zhang Mao only glanced at it, put it down, without any expression on his face, and just said: "Pingyuan Fort has been captured, and the Thousand Household Officer Zheng Rong and the three hundred and seventy-two people all died in battle." , the Tartars hung their bones outside the fortress, and cut off their heads, and played with them on poles."

  He didn't say any more, and continued to look down at the map.

  Pingyuan Fort is getting closer and closer to Datong.

Zhang Mao said calmly: "The Tatars are counting on the main force of our army to rescue the fortresses everywhere, but...we must hold our breath and tell the fortresses that if there is a surprise attack by the Tatars, they will not have reinforcements. The Tartars will never let them surrender, they... can only fight to the death, let them rely on the fortress, and let them go on to death, and those who die in battle will be paid extra. The armies of Datong are not allowed to fight, and they are not allowed to rush to help!"

   "Yes." All the generals showed frustration.

   "Why haven't the other military horses arrived yet? Tell the Marquis of Qingzhou that if he delays any longer, he will be dealt with by military law."

   "And... have the supplies arrived?"

   "It's here."

  Zhang Mao's solemn face did not ease. There were dozens of military fortresses, as well as passes along the Datong Line, and several troops rushed to help. At this time, Zhang Mao knew that he must not be impulsive, and he had to wait for the opportunity.

   "Have the troops of the captain's son-in-law arrived?" Zhang Mao suddenly remembered something.

   "..."

  Seeing that no one responded, Zhang Mao nodded and looked at the generals suspiciously.

   "There is... no news yet."

  Zhang Mao frowned: "What are you doing, kid?"

   After mumbling for a while, he stopped talking: "All firearms and ordnance must be checked!"

"and also…"

  Zhang Mao began to babble over and over again. Although he was eager for military exploits, he also knew that the most taboo for a handsome man was to be greedy for meritorious deeds. Therefore, at this moment, he appeared extremely calm.

  ………

  A cavalry day and night, after more than half a month, has arrived in Lanzhou.

  Hearing that the crown prince had arrived, King Su Zhu Gongxuan hurried out of the city with local civil and military officials to meet him.

Speaking of which, Zhu Gongchao is still Zhu Houzhao's uncle. Of course, Zhu Gongchao didn't dare to show off with Zhu Houzhao. When he saw Zhu Houzhao coming from a distance, he hurriedly saluted and said with a smile: "I have seen His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness... "

   "Don't call me the prince. I have come here to guard Lanzhou today. I am the commander-in-chief of the world. I call me Zhu Zongbing."

  Zhu Houzhao was riding on the horse, seeing that he couldn't beat his relatives at all, hey, this person was born like Bengong's father.

  Zhu Gongxuan was ashamed, so he said with a smile: "Yes, yes, Zongbing Zhu came here after a long journey. Thinking about it, he is already exhausted, and the minister is already in the city..."

  Zhu Houzhao heard that, nine out of ten, there was a banquet to be held, and he sneered: "The army is overwhelming, and you still want to drink. What's the reason?"

   "Big... big army." Zhu Gongzhen was a little dazed: "There is no big army."

   Wind... a bit cold.

  The weather in Gansu... Even at this time, it is actually cold.

  Zhu Houzhao sat on the horse, looked up at the sky, and took a deep breath: "There is no army?"

"No, there was a group of Tatars who came before, but there were only a few thousand people, and then they left without a trace. The minister ordered the rangers to investigate, all the way west and north for hundreds of miles, and no Tatars were seen. , come to think of it, the Tatars have retreated."

Zhu Houzhao breathed out, his face was flushed, then his eyes widened, his mind turned for a moment, and the horsewhip in his hand was thrown to the ground: "So that's it, this is a trap. No wonder the emperor so easily let me Gong Lai, it turned out that he had already expected that the Tatars would not attack Hexi, so I... have been fooled by that dog emperor!"

   "..."

  Zhu Gongxuan thought he heard it wrong, what did you say?

Zhu Houzhao was angry, but he slapped himself on the head: "I am so happy that I am dizzy, I am really dizzy, I didn't expect... I didn't expect this, Hexi is not suitable for the army to fight at all. , There are many rivers and valleys here, how could the Tatars attack Hexi, this is just their suspicion, father must have seen this... I am so happy that I have been dizzy, I have been fooled by such a big one."

  Zhu Houzhao hurriedly jumped off his horse.

  The whole body became irritable, baring its teeth and claws, wanting to kill: "Hexi, there is not a single Tatar?"

   "Maybe..." Zhu Gongxuan was a little frightened, didn't he say that His Highness the Crown Prince is smart and gracious? Why...how is it different from the rumors.

   "Is it possible? I'm not sure. Try to search. There are really a few fish that slipped through the net."

   "..." Zhu Houzhao touched his forehead and almost passed out.

  Fish that slipped through the net?

   Ben Gong came here to catch the fish that slipped through the net? , Thousands of miles away, I was happy for nothing.

  Zhu Houzhao pressed the handle of the knife: "Go... into the city, Uncle Huang, what did you just say?"

   "Fish that slipped through the net!"

   "The last sentence, the journey is exhausting, what's next?"

   "The old minister has prepared some thin wine to clean up His Highness, and..."

   "Let's go, bring out all the wine and meat, so that I and all the soldiers can eat and drink enough. Speaking of which, it's hard work to eat and sleep in the open these days."

  Zhu Gong was overjoyed, and his smiling eyes narrowed: "Your Highness, please, please."

  Zhu Houzhao walked like a dragon and walked like a tiger, and entered the city first.

Liu Jin, who was behind him, heard that he ate again. He was going to stuff a fried pea into his mouth, but he put the pea back into his treasure bag, turned his tongue, and did a little bit. Exercising, picked up the waistband of his trousers, and hurriedly followed him.

   On that day, eat and drink enough.

Zhu Gongqin was drunk, cried, and hugged Zhu Houzhao: "Your Highness, my minister, when I was crowned king, Lanzhou was not in a border town. The whole Hexi, and even half of the Western Regions, belonged to Ming Dynasty. Lanzhou was originally in the hinterland, but who knows, time has passed and circumstances have changed, this Lanzhou has become a border, every now and then, Tatar stragglers will come, and the veteran's Zhuangzi outside the city will be robbed every now and then..."

  Zhu Houzhao let out a groan, as if he had something on his mind, but he was so angry and quiet that he didn't pay much attention to him.

  I, Zhu Houzhao, am not recognized by my relatives!

  ...

  Thanks to Weapon Line 01, the reward of 100,000 starting coins, I am very happy, and the code words are strong.
