Chapter 127 Senior Brother, is it really you?
The flag is in the city, and the Tumu Fort has remained unsuccessful until now. The fortifications built by Chenxi have made great contributions, but now it has finally completed its historical mission.
All the Ming cavalry and infantrymen were released, and the battle ended in just half an hour. There were very few Tatar cavalry who fled in scattered areas, almost all the troops were wiped out.
At the end of the war, Chen Xi tied the Daming Sun and Moon Flag to the flagpole and slowly came down from the city. He prepared to leave the city to welcome the triumphant soldiers, organize reinforcements into the team as soon as possible, and then return to Juyongguan.
There is no accurate number of cavalry outside the city. According to the previous observation of Chen Xi at the city, there should be about 4,000 cavalry under Liu Daxia, all of them were sent out this time.
"Sir, we are triumphant!"
Zhu Liezuo was in front of the front line and was extremely excited. When several Tartar heads appeared in front of the city gate with his waist hanging on his back, only a few personal guards followed behind him.
At this time, most of the officers and soldiers were cleaning the battlefield ahead and desperately plundering the Tartar camps.
All reinforcements were cavalry, and it seemed a bit troublesome to enter the city because there were too many gutters and ravines, and it was too troublesome to build bridges temporarily, so I could only go to trenches.
But even if the Ming army itself walked on the trenches that were not the defense zone they were responsible for, it would be difficult to grasp the specific direction of the ravines, so they needed a dedicated person to guide the cavalry.
Zhu Lie saw Chen Xi from afar, and before he could even sigh for a few more words, he felt that his body was being pulled hard. Even though he was steady and did not fall down, he was pushed aside involuntarily.
"Which turtle son..."
A swear word stopped halfway, because he turned around and saw the person pushing him, who was tall, big, round waist, extremely majestic, and had a tiger spirit when walking. But when he saw this person holding a tall horse, as if no one was coming, he pushed him away and ran straight towards Chenxi, and his thick voice rang out: "Senior Brother!"
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty around him couldn't help but cover their ears.
It's Wang Lingzhi!
Wang Lingzhi didn't understand what it was. He hadn't seen him for a few years, so he recognized Chen Xi at a glance, but his appearance changed a little bit, with a beard under his jaw, and his skin turned into wheat due to the wind, sand and sun and rain in the northwest. His voice was more rough than before. If it weren't for his "senior brother" name, Chen Xi could hardly believe that this was Wang Lingzhi.
"Junior brother?"
Chen Xi was stunned. He had never realized before that the Silver Armor General who was majestic on the battlefield before was actually his childhood friend.
"Hahaha, senior brother, it's you!"
Wang Lingzhi ignored Chen Xi's sick little body and hugged him up. The laughter was full of pleasure, and the strength in his hands was amazing. After Chen Xi was hugged by him for a while, he felt breathless.
Seeing his coach hugging the silver-armored general who had been invincible on the battlefield before, the soldiers were puzzled, and the titles of "Senior Brother" and "Senior Brother" made them even more confused.
Zhang Yong and others did not dare to come forward to disturb the trouble, but from the title, they guessed that Chen Xi and the young cavalry general who came to support should be brothers of the same sect, but the two of them had different development directions.
"Hahaha...wow...wow..."
Wang Lingzhi was majestic in front of others, but when he arrived in front of Chenxi, he immediately exposed his nature.
After four years of joining the army in Sanbian, he never returned home during this period. Although his official position continued to improve, the loneliness and loneliness of being alone outside was indescribable. When he saw Chen Xi, he was surprised and excited at first, and then he couldn't hide his sadness. He actually hugged Chen Xi and cried loudly.
This made the soldiers feel even more rare.
The Ming general who killed the Tatars on the battlefield was actually crying here. His crying and shape were still very cold, and his tall image collapsed.
Chen Xi comforted: "General Wang, you have made great contributions to winning this battle... Please rectify the troops and then go to the command post in the city to discuss matters!"
Wang Lingzhi could vent his emotions regardless of time and occasions, but Chen Xi could not. He had to maintain his image as the commander of the central army so that he could better command and dispatch troops. He could only remind Wang Lingzhi in more formal words and let Wang Lingzhi restrain himself.
Wang Lingzhi burst into tears. Fortunately, Yun Liu had strong eyesight and quickly handed over a handkerchief to let Wang Lingzhi wipe away the dust and blood on his face, and wiped the tears dry.
More than an hour later, the Ming army in front cleaned the battlefield and almost demolished the Tartar camps, escorted the spoils and prisoners, and drove into the city continuously.
Because the trenches are relatively narrow, they can usually only accommodate two cavalry in parallel, and the team is moving slowly. Chen Xi stood at the gate of the city and personally welcomed the soldiers into the city.
The officers and soldiers under Chen Xi, whether they were the initial Beijing soldiers or the reinforcements sent by Longqingwei, were respectful to Chen Xi as gods. As for the cavalry under Liu Daxia, they seemed unruly. In their opinion, the victory of this war was all due to their contributions, and they came to help to save Tumu Fort.
The cavalry was always the elite of the border army. Wang Lingzhi was in the army for four years and is now the deputy general of the cavalry. He had four general flags, namely 400 people. However, during the war, he served as the vanguard of the entire army because his superiors discovered that this guy was desperate on the battlefield, and he always destroyed cities and drew villages and made contributions. When he was in the Ningxia Guard, Liu Daxia personally received Wang Lingzhi, who was fighting against the battlefield and beheaded dozens of Tatar heads, and praised him very much.
Although Wang Lingzhi did not pass the imperial examination for the martial arts Jinshi, he was a martial arts master in the 11th year of Hongzhi. He was a "professional background". In the border army, he had the ability and professional background, so his promotion speed was naturally far higher than others.
Wang Lingzhi has made it step by step by step with his real skills. Generals like him who are in front of the war, enjoy themselves in the future, and never compete for merit after winning battles, are most appreciated by his superiors. In just four years, Wang Lingzhi became the deputy chief of the cavalry and the commander of the army.
Wang Lingzhi didn't seem to have many soldiers and horses, but the Ming cavalry was originally very scarce. He was not always comparable to the Beijing camp like Hu Songyue, and he had a great position in the border military system.
After the troops entered the city, Chen Xi came forward to greet him as the governor of Yansui, with the purpose of emphasizing that he was the commander of the three armies and that reinforcements must be included in his position.
"grown ups……"
Just as Shen Xi was standing a little tired, a familiar voice suddenly came.
This time, it was not someone else's visit, but Chen Xi's brother-in-law Lin Heng.
Lin Heng was Lin Dai's elder brother. He served in the northwest for many years. Before he met Chen Xi, he had already been a hundred households in Yansui Town. Later, he was recommended by Chen Xi and promoted to the deputy general manager. In the past four years, he was promoted to the general manager of Qian, because of his military achievements. This time, he led his army to the capital to serve the king, and happened to meet Chen Xi at Tumu Fort.
Lin Heng is a standard soldier and knows that the rules in the army are much stronger than Wang Ling. Therefore, although Lin Heng was very happy to see Chen Xi, he maintained great restraint, stepped forward and bowed to Chen Xi with his fists, and then pointed his troops to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi bowed: "General Lin, please!"
There were two acquaintances in the reinforcements, and Chen Xi finally had the confidence to take this army for his own use. The Tumu Fort defenders had obeyed his words. Now with Lin Heng and Wang Ling's help, these 4,000 cavalrymen were believed to be unable to escape control.
Whether it was reinforcements or the defenders of Tumu Fort, the officers and soldiers looked excited after victory, and their faces were filled with joy when they entered the city. Many of the cavalry knew Chen Xi, many of whom had participated in the battle of Yuxi in person, and they had fought with Chen Xi. During this reunion, they all greeted Chen Xi politely.
"Mr. Shen, you are exhausted. Go back to the command post and have a good rest. Now the captives of the Tartars have been escorted into the city... Even the commander was captured alive!"
Zhang Yong had heard the remarks from the general below and came happily to convey to Chen Xi.
"knew."
Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "After counting the spoils, I will report the detailed numbers to me. As for the merit booklet, I will draft it in the past two days and report it to Eunuch Zhang for review!"
Zhang Yong smiled and said, "No, no hurry. Next, we will withdraw our troops. It is not too late to decide after returning to Juyong Pass!"
At this moment, a group of border cavalry generals including Lin Heng and Wang Lingzhi arrived at Tumu Fort. Chen Xi knew that he should immediately establish his dominance in the integration of troops. If he could not take over the power of command, no matter how good the future plan was, it would be useless.
"Promote the tent and discuss matters!" Chen Xi ordered.
Zhang Yong looked sleepy and said, "Mr. Shen, don't be so anxious, right? Will you be able to get promoted to the tent after all the soldiers enter the city to rest?"
Chen Xi turned a blind eye and turned his body to the command post.
Wang Lingzhi seemed to be like a worm, and kept following Chen Xi. On the way to the meeting place, he thought he had entered the rotten vegetable field.
"Senior brother, why... this place is different from other places?"
The various troughs in front of him made Wang Lingzhi very uncomfortable. In his eyes, only horses can gallop across the land, which is the stage for him to display his abilities, and that is a good place.
