25. The work of greed
"Guys, go and tie ten straw men about the size of adults, wrap them up, cover their heads, and tie them to a wooden plank!"
Immediately, such an order was given.
"Yes!" Sun Chengzong didn't understand why the emperor suddenly wanted to tie a straw man, but he went to Zhang Luo in person.
After a few moments, everything was ready.
Zhu Youzhen glanced at it, and asked Haoge to pull out his torn armor and coat.
Then he covered his head, and then he felt that it was almost there, and immediately beat his horse and went out of the city.
"Quick, keep up!"
The emperor went to war, and Sun Chengzong, who was the secretary of the military department, had to keep up.
Du Wan, the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, each followed closely with their headquarters.
There are more than 1,000 people in total.
"The Shenji battalion is in ambush in the trench in front, and when I hear the fire gun, you are ready to fire!"
"The Jinyi Guard is in ambush under the low wall in front of the side, and when I hear the sound of the fire, get ready!"
"When I turn the horse's head and run back, and when I give the order to release, your bows and crossbows and firearms will be fired in unison!"
"Luo Yangxing, you take twenty or thirty people, bring these arrow targets, and come with me."
Zhu Youzhen went out of the city, first arranged two waves of ambushes not far from the city gate, and then went to the front with twenty or thirty brocade guards, a few eunuchs and Sun Chengzong.
In the past two days, he has continuously punished important ministers, killed the commander of the Shenji Battalion who was in a panic in battle, and dismissed the commander of the Jinyi Guard.
The courtiers were already sincerely afraid of him, and Du Wan and Luo Yangxing, who had just been promoted, even wanted to make meritorious contributions.
Otherwise, he would never have given his life to these people.
After walking about two hundred paces forward, he reined in the reins of his horse and turned his head to look at Gao Qiqian.
"Tartar child, the holy driver is here, why don't you hurry up and dismount and surrender?"
Gao Qiqian immediately pulled the thin voice in his throat, shouted loudly, caught in the wind, and spread far and wide......
"This?"
Sun Chengzong's calves and stomach are about to cramp.
Jin Yiwei commanded Luo Yangxing's hands to clasp the hilt tightly.
I thought that the emperor went to war just to boost morale, but I didn't want to, so I made such an arrangement.
This time is not the same as the last one.
The last time it was a sneak attack, although it was dangerous, but after all, it was only Huang Taiji who was carried away by anger.
This time, it was the time when the two armies were killed in the dark, and the Ming army was defeated.
In case the red-eyed Tartar rushes over, he won't be able to run.
Besides, the Tartar has already suffered a loss, how can he still be fooled?
None of them are idiots!
"What are you panicking about? The Tartar hasn't come over yet, so he's scared like this? Where is my tomorrow's prestige? ”
"Commander Luo, wait a minute, the Tartars rush over and release their arrows, and immediately set up all the targets!"
"After a rain of arrows, you all turn around and run, don't look back!"
Zhu Youzhen said.
"Your Majesty, this is unacceptable, it's too dangerous!" Luo Yangxing was shocked when he heard this, and immediately said.
"I have my own measure, isn't the best thing for you Jinyi guards to run?" Zhu Youzhen scolded.
"Yes!" Luo's brain was no longer enough, and his face was even more red to the base of his neck.
He understood that the emperor was despising them, the brocade guards who showed their teeth and claws on weekdays.
It is necessary to put yourself in danger and trap the Tartar generals.
But in all dynasties, no emperor dared to risk his life.
Sun Chengzong wanted to say something, but seeing the emperor's resolute look, he immediately swallowed his words.
He knew that the things decided by the emperor could not be changed.
Haoge, who was blindfolded, heard Zhu Youzhen say this, and shouted anxiously.
This is to use him as an arrow target for the Houjin army to shoot......
On the battlefield of the two battles, the sound of killing shook the sky, and the screams were repeated.
But the shrill voice of Gao Qiqian drifted away with the wind, but it could make them hear it really.
"Huh? Chongzhen Xiao'er went out of the city to die? ”
When many Houjin generals heard this, they immediately looked at Guangqumen.
Sure enough, when I saw the yellow flag, I immediately sat Zhu Youzhen, who was wearing a dragon robe.
Green light began to glow in their eyes.
Yuan Chonghuan and his lieutenant generals were secretly alarmed.
At this time, if the emperor makes a mistake, this battle of guarding the Beijing division will be completely over.
"Come with me!"
Abatai, who was closest to the city gate, saw Zhu Youzhen and immediately yelled.
Immediately beat the horse and rushed towards Zhu Youzhen, and the hundreds of personal soldiers behind him immediately beat their horses and followed.
He's going to be beheaded!
Grab the lead of the Beijing attack division......
The attack on Yuan Chonghuan just now failed, and he was holding his breath in his heart.
This is another Chongzhen, where can he let go of such a good opportunity.
Yuan Chonghuan and other Ming generals wanted to rush to the rescue, but they were surrounded by Dolgon, Duoduo and others.
Azig took the opportunity to rush forward as well.
"Crossbowmen ready!" Less than two hundred paces, Abatai let out a low roar.
At the same time, he quietly reined in the reins of his horse, and lagged behind the other Eight Banners by one position.
Last time, Zhu Youzhen Yin Emperor Taiji, he remembered it vividly.
He wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.
"Shoot the arrows!"
When he was a hundred paces away, Abatai gave an order, and suddenly hundreds of Tartars fired arrows at the same time.
"Up!" Zhu Youzhen, who had been waiting for a long time, roared.
More than a dozen arrow targets were suddenly pulled up by Jinyiwei.
"Woohoo!"
Hundreds of arrows were set on the target, which was seven feet high and five feet wide.
The straw man and the planks were full of arrows.
Poor Hauge had at least a dozen shots on his body, whining and whining.
But the Tartar on the other side couldn't hear it at all, and even if it did, it was impossible to distinguish it.
"Rush!"
After a rain of arrows, Abatai gave the order to charge.
However, when he saw the huge scarecrow, he felt uneasy.
Slightly reined in the horse's reins, for fear that Zhu Youzhen would play some tricks again.
But before he could rush a few steps forward, he found that except for Chongzhen Xiao'er, who was still messy in the wind, all the other people on the opposite side turned around and ran......
Especially the twenty or thirty brocade guards with knives ran faster than rabbits.
"Chongzhen Xiao'er, take your life!"
As soon as Abatai raised his long knife, he heard a loud roar in his ears.
immediately no longer hesitated, and he was not afraid of Zhu Youzhen's fraud.
Azig has already come up, don't let him rob him of this monstrous work.
Azig, who came first, had the same idea in his mind.
Even if it is a firecracker, what about the dozens of Eight Banner soldiers in front of them, how many shots can Chongzhen deduct? How many people can be injured again?
At this time, he was already less than fifty steps away from Zhu Youzhen.
Azig and Abatai whipped their horses hard, eager to get ahead of each other.
In an instant, they surpassed the Eight Banners who were one position ahead of them.
The two of them were already red-eyed at the moment.
In the eyes of the two of them, Zhu Youzhen was already a dead man.
It's up to whoever gets the first shot.
Thirty steps, Zhu Youzhen, who had not moved, suddenly flipped his wrist, and the two firearms were fired at the same time.
After three consecutive shots, it doesn't matter if you hit or not, you throw away the firearm and turn around and run.
"Ignorant child, dare to repeat the same trick?"
Azig and Abatai are both veterans of the battlefield, so they are prepared for it.
At the same time as seeing the firecracker, the two of them turned sideways together, hugged the horse's neck with both hands, and one turned over and stuck directly under the horse's neck.
A few firecrackers didn't hit either of them at all.
At this time, it was only twenty steps away from Zhu Youzhen.
Zhu Youzhen is sweating profusely at the moment, and he is also riding a horse, and the speed of this tartar is faster than his.
Immediately whipped a few lashes.
"Chongzhen Xiaoer, where to run, take your life!"
In a hurry, Abatai drew a dagger directly from his boot and stabbed it on the horse's buttocks.
This speed suddenly soared.
Zhu Youzhen listened to the sound of galloping horses' hooves behind him, and the whirring broadsword, and visually measured the distance ahead.
Immediately lowered his head and leaned over, shouting, "Release!" ”
