Minister of War Mao Bowen is about to come to express condolences and commend the court on behalf of the court. As soon as this news came out, all the soldiers in Xuanfu Town were happy.

It is not common for the imperial court to send ministers of the Ministry of War to express condolences and commend border soldiers. You should know that Xuanfu Town was ravaged by Tartar cavalry last year, and the soldiers of Xuanfu Town were beaten so hard that they dared not leave the city. It would be good if the court did not punish them. Unexpectedly, they received the court's commendation after just one year.

This incident was really exciting. The entire Xuanfu Town was immediately decorated with lights and colorful colors like the New Year Festival. Both the soldiers and the families of the soldiers were so happy.

However, Yang Cong couldn't be happy because Mao Bowen's message made him smell the danger.

Mao Bowen is quite clear about his character, honest and honest. He must not have asked him to prepare some bribes of gold and silver, so what else can he prepare?

It was obvious that Mao Bowen asked him to prepare conclusive evidence to prove that he had indeed defeated the Tartar cavalry and some people wanted to mess with him.

These dogs know how to fight for power all day long. If these selfish guys weren't doing anything randomly, how could the Ming Dynasty be like this?

Yang Cong was really annoyed by these guys, but now he had no choice but to deal with these people. Although he pretended to be a chief official in the border area, his actual position was only a fifth-rank bachelor's degree, and he was still far from the center of power. With the relationship he created, he had a small fight and was fine. It would be okay to punish some others. It would be too early to completely change this situation.

He could only prepare as Mao Bowen said, and put all his achievements into pieces so as to block the bastards' mouths.

Fortunately, his background in the court is quite deep, otherwise he would have been misled by others.

As for the achievements, it is a testament to prove that the Tartars' corpses are still there and the battlefield has not been cleaned up much. He simply ordered people to place the Tartars' corpses on the battlefield, sprinkle some lime to prevent corruption, and at the same time ordered people to withdraw all the traps, trips and horses, restore the battlefield, and prepare to face the inspection by the court.

He was almost busy here, and the court's comforting team was about to reach Xuanhua Prefecture City. Logically, he should have gone to Xuanhua Prefecture City to greet him in person, but he was quite unhappy at this moment, so he didn't go to Xuanhua Prefecture City to greet him, but waited in the kitchen fort.

The next day, Yun Mao led his subordinates to escort the comforting team.

This came to comfort him not only Mao Bowen, a senior official of the imperial court. Nie Bao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, also followed him, and Dong Wei, the inexplicable right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice.

At this time, Yang Cong was not making any preparations. He heard that the court's consolation team was about to arrive, so he directly led a group of civil servants and military officials to line up at the south gate of the kitchen fort to greet him. As soon as Mao Bowen arrived, he stepped forward and bowed and apologized: "Sir, the military affairs of the subordinates are busy, and they have not been welcomed from afar. I hope you can forgive me."

Mao Bowen smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it's okay, military affairs are important."

Immediately afterwards, he asked Nie Bao again.

Nie Bao was naturally very happy. Yang Cong and his high disciple Xu Jie are good friends, and they can be considered half of his apprentice. If Yang Cong achieves such a record, his face is also shining.

However, when Yang Cong asked Dong Wei, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, the guy did not make a mistake: "Mr. Yang, when Lord Shangshu goes on a patrol, most officials will welcome the borders of the jurisdiction. You are so arrogant that you are waiting for Lord Shangshu to see you."

Damn, the meaning of finding fault is very obvious. This guy is definitely from Xia Yan.

Yang Cong was feeling angry at this moment, what a bullshit, right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, he was arrogant, he forced himself to retort: ​​"Sir, the Tartars have just retreated for a few days, maybe when will they be shot back? If the lower-ranking officials leave their posts without permission and the Tartars rush in, who will be responsible?"

"you!"

Dong Wei's face turned red and speechless when he was scolded.

Seeing this, Mao Bowen quickly smoothed out and said, "Okay, okay, let's go and see the soldiers of the border."

Upon hearing this, Yang Cong turned around, left Dong Wei, and led Mao Bowen and Nie Bao to the north city tower.

When Dong Wei saw Yang Cong's attitude, his nose was crooked. However, he still followed with a gloomy face because he was sent by Xia Yan and Yan Song to find fault. If he didn't follow, how could he find fault?

The group came to the north city tower and saw that it was a good guy. The Ming soldiers below had already arranged neatly according to the formation that resisted the Tartar cavalry that day. The row of fire dragon chariots in front was four or five miles wide, and the row of catapults in the back was three or four miles wide.

Seeing this, Mao Bowen couldn't help but say in surprise: "Qingfeng, did you use this formation to defeat the Tartar cavalry that day?"

Yang Cong bowed and explained: "Yes, sir, when the Xiaguan first came to Xuanfu, he inspected the Great Wall from Xinkaikou to Zhangjiakou, and found that there were many gaps on it, so it was too late to repair it. Therefore, he ordered people to block the gaps near Xinkaikou and Zhangjiakou with huge stones, leaving only a few gaps in front of the kitchen fort that were not blocked."

Mao Bowen looked at the mountains on both sides and nodded, "Well, the terrain here is narrow, which is a good place to block."

At this time, Dong Wei suddenly said sinisterly again: "You used this little man to block the 40,000 Tatar cavalry, and you also captured thousands of heads?"

This guy is obviously looking for trouble on purpose, but Yang Cong happened to want to demonstrate the power of the catapult and the giant sky-bombing thunder. He said calmly: "What the officials are relying on is not this little man, but this thousand catapults."

Dong Wei mocked again sinisterly: "You can think about it. Do you think we don't know how fast we are? How fast are the other Tartar cavalry? Your catapult can only throw a round at most. Can you kill and injure tens of thousands of cavalry?"

When Mao Bowen heard this, he couldn't help but show a puzzled expression. They naturally knew the power of the catapult. It would be a bit unrealistic to say that it could defeat 40,000 Tatar cavalry with more than a thousand catapults.

Yang Cong said calmly: "If it is an ordinary stone bullet, of course it cannot kill and injure so many Tartar cavalry. The subordinates used giant sky-bombing thunder, so this effect is achieved."

Dong Wei smiled disdainfully and said, "What a giant thunder that blows? Did you blow it?"

Yang Cong simply ignored him and bowed directly to Mao Bowen: "Sir, why don't you show the power of the giant thunderbolt?"

Mao Bowen said with great interest: "Okay."

He naturally wanted to see this weapon that could defeat the Tartar cavalry.

Yang Cong immediately raised his hand and said aloud: "Order, the Fifth Battalion of the Cataloger draws the rope and loads the bullet."

A wave of order flags, and a hundred groups of soldiers immediately came forward in the catapult formation below to pull down the torque arm, and placed the giant sky-bombing thunder into the throwing basket. The movements were neat and uniform and extremely fast.

Seeing this, Mao Bowen couldn't help but nodded slightly. Just looking at the movements of these people, you can tell that they must be quite strict in their practice.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Cong ordered without hesitation: "Light up, throw it."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

At this time, Mao Bowen and Nie Bao looked at the giant thunder flying into the sky seriously, but Dong Wei still sneered with disdain on his face, not knowing how scary the next scene would be.

Seeing this, Yang Cong's eyes turned and suddenly cast a provocative look.

Dong Wei didn't know that Yang Cong was deliberately distracting him. A small patrol dared to provoke him. Is it great if you really think that the top scorer in the exam? He immediately turned his head and glared back with his eyes bulging.

Yang Cong sneered in his heart: "Dog thing, I can't scare you to death."
