Chapter 156 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey

There was some discussion among the soldiers, most of whom were dissatisfied with "why they had to go to the battlefield".

Fu Chenan's face darkened as he gritted his teeth and roared, "I'll count to the dozens. Anyone who is not dressed neatly and lined up will be killed!"

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then moved a little faster. Someone in the crowd shouted, "Who are you? What's so great about you?"

"That's right! Just a butcher..."

"Hahaha..." Someone started laughing, and soon a small round of laughter broke out.

Some people were afraid and did not dare to laugh out loud. They kept looking at Fu Chenan who was standing on the high platform.

General Zhu felt uneasy and glanced at Fu Chenan.

I have been slacking off in training recently...

Fu Chenan glanced over and without saying anything, he picked up a bow from the weapon rack next to him.

Draw a bow and shoot an arrow.

"what……"

But in the blink of an eye, the soldier who had just spoken provocatively was shot in the middle of his eyebrows and died instantly.

Fu Chen'an's cold voice resounded across the battlefield: "Anyone who commits treason or disobeys military orders will be killed!"

The crowd suddenly became quiet, and anxiety and fear began to spread.

"Line up!" Finally, a general in the crowd began to give orders.

Fu Chenan began to count grimly.

"ten!"

"Nine!"

"Eight……"

Faced with life and death, everyone finally sped up their movements and the team quickly assembled. Five thousand cavalry and fifteen thousand infantry all looked at Fu Chenan nervously.

Fu Chenan looked at the people below and completely gave up: these people were just sneaking in to get the military pay.

Look at the faces under the armor, each one is white and tender, and more plump and fair than the girls in the Drunken Red Tower!
However, if it falls into the hands of me, Fu... Fu Chenan grinned.

"The Tatar cavalry is invading and has reached Jeju City."

"If you don't want the Tatars to invade the capital, and don't want yourselves and your families to be beheaded, have your property confiscated and your clan exterminated, and become the lowest class of slaves, then pick up your swords and guns and fight the Tatars with me."

"Now, everyone take two days' worth of rations and set off!"

Immediately, a cook came forward and distributed bags of dry food that had been prepared long ago.

After everyone had some dry food in their hands, Fu Chenan encouraged them again.

"Everyone, rest assured. Jeju still has garrisons. It is also our territory. The Tatar cavalry grew up on the grasslands all year round and are not adapted to our terrain..."

After finishing his speech, Fu Chenan waved his hand, and the cavalry took the lead, followed by the infantry, and the army finally set off.

In the palace, after sending Fu Chenan away, the emperor was still worried, so he asked the six ministries to hold a meeting on their own to study how to resolve this crisis.

The emperor himself hid in the imperial study.

In the imperial study, the atmosphere was solemn today. The emperor sat slumped on the dragon throne with a dull look in his eyes. The palace servants moved very carefully, for fear of making any noise that would bring bad luck.

The chief eunuch, Lu Daban, received a letter from the eunuch, placed it on the emperor's desk, and carefully handed him a cup of soothing tea: "Your Majesty, moisten your throat..."

The emperor seemed to come to his senses and looked at Lu Daban: "Do you think Fu Chenan can drive those people back to the grassland?"

Lu Daban lowered his eyes, estimated the time in his mind, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from the front line, how about you take a look first?"

When the emperor opened the letter, his expression changed immediately.

"Fu Zhonghai was seriously injured and about to die, but those deputy generals said they wanted to avenge Fu Zhonghai and chased the Tatar cavalry all the way here?"

"Do you think this is a trap? Did the Fu family and their son team up with the Tatar cavalry to kill me and rebel?"

He would not have been so scared if he hadn't said it, but the more the emperor talked, the more it seemed possible, and he couldn't help but reveal fear in his eyes.

When Lu Daban heard this, he was also stunned: This...

"Your Majesty, do you want to bring back General Fu and the 20,000 troops?" Emperor: ...

He really wanted to get it back, and he even wished Fu Chenan would die, but he didn't dare let Fu Chenan die now.

It's all just my own guess.

If I guessed wrong, and Fu Chenan and the 20,000 troops were chased back, and the Tatar cavalry really rushed into the capital, what would I do?
The emperor was so anxious that he unconsciously grasped the dragon head carved on the throne with his hands.

Lu Daban saw everything and tried to persuade them in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, the Fu family army and the Tatar cavalry have fought many times over the years, and both sides have suffered casualties. Can such mortal enemies like them collude with each other?"

"I'm going to say something disrespectful. If they really did collude, and the Tatars took over the world, what would the Fu family father and son gain?"

"If the Tatars take over the world, the first people they will kill will probably be the Fu family father and son."

"Even if they don't die, they have no face to live. The slaves of the second family will be stabbed in the back by the world."

The emperor liked what he heard. He slowly put his heart at ease: "You make sense. I don't think it should be like that..."

The emperor suddenly became happy again: "If the Fu family army is chasing us from behind, we can attack them from both sides and maybe we can really destroy the Tatars!"

"It would be best if both of them were defeated and destroyed together..."

The more the emperor thought about it, the better it seemed. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something else: "Send the order down, the Ministry of Revenue allocate ten days of food and grass to the camp outside the capital, and set out immediately!"

"Yes!" Lu Daban immediately sent someone to pass the order down.

Ten days of food and fodder...what about after ten days?
Shouldn't they both be destroyed together? !

Once again, both sides suffered losses and both sides were destroyed...

Lu Daban felt that the imperial study was a bit cold.

Fu Chenan led 5,000 cavalrymen to the outside of Jeju City and asked them to open the city gates.

Jeju Tongpan She Gongxu came up to him with a relieved smile on his face.

"General Fu, we've finally got you... The people are ready. When do you think we're going to drive them out?"

Fu Chenan glanced at She Gongxu deeply and said, "Don't worry, my people will investigate the situation first..."

There were only 3,000 soldiers in Jeju in total. Fu Chenan was ordered to meet the enemy and naturally took over these soldiers.

After gathering everyone together, Fu Chenan ordered Jizhou Tongpan She Gongxu to stand at the front of the team.

Looking at the flags waving behind him, She Gongxu felt extremely proud: his glorious official career was about to begin!

As long as he can help Fu Chenan beat back the Tatar cavalry in this battle, his contribution will be set in stone! No one can erase it!

I think a prefect is indispensable...

Before She Gongxu could figure it out, Fu Chenan started lecturing him.

"Outside Jeju City, there are many mountains and not many flat lands. The Tatar cavalry is good at charging, but not good at fighting in the mountains."

"It is impossible for them to deploy a formation of 50,000 cavalry. At most, they can deploy a formation of 3,000 people at a time..."

The cavalrymen in the suburban camp below, who were originally nervous and panicked, heard this and were slightly certain in their hearts: If it was only 3,000 against 5,000, maybe they could still fight...

"All officers and men obey orders!"

"Five thousand White Tiger cavalrymen, come forward and challenge us!"

"Yes!" The response from below was very powerful.

"Jeju City Defenders: Stay back and supervise the battle! Anyone who escapes from the White Tiger Army will be killed!"

“Yes!” The response from the Jeju defenders was also very impressive.

The only one who did not dare to agree outright was She Gongxu.

She Gongxu looked at Fu Chenan in panic.

These soldiers in the camp outside Beijing are all second-generation rich people who were sent in by the major families in Beijing to train (lose time), and most of them are useless.

If I kill them, will their families kill me afterwards? !
Will!
