Chapter 41: Glory

When Lin Yi arrived at this hill, the Tartars were launching a second onslaught on the hill, saying that it was a fierce attack, it was better to use the word encirclement and annihilation to describe it more accurately, because at this time, there were no more Ming troops on the huge hillside.

However, Zhang Hua and the others are still brave, because of the delay of this half incense stick, out of the desire to survive and loyalty to Lord Baizong, their extremely tired bodies have accumulated a lot of strength.

Over there, the guerrilla commander Zu Keyong also rushed out of the bushes with a few generals.

Despite this, the Tartar, who has an absolute advantage in strength, still wins, but the key to the problem is that there is a fierce man behind him, this is Lin Yi, who can be a hundred masters.

Both sides are tired divisions, and what is fighting at this time is will and perseverance, a fierce battle, up and down the slope, rolling all over the corpses of the Tartars, on the trunks of the trees, on the blades of grass, stained with the blood of the Tartars.

After a meal, the supreme commander of the Niu Lu Tartars was slashed by Lin Yi under his horse, and the rest of the Tartars gathered dozens of remnants and fled in the wilderness, but Lin Yi and they did not chase after them.

"Brother Lin, we ...... I almost couldn't see it......" Xiao Ying threw herself into Lin Yi's arms despite the presence of everyone, choking and whispering, her shoulders shrugged.

"Silly girl, don't cry, how can it be." Lin Yi patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

"How not?" Xiao Ying straightened up from Lin Yi's arms, and stared at her big tearful eyes very seriously, "The brothers were all trapped just now, several times the number of Tartars, just a few of us, and many of them were injured, if it weren't for Brother Zhang being a traitor, we really wouldn't have seen each other, at that time, the person Xiao Ying missed the most was you...... God has eyes, and finally blessed Brother Lin to return to Xiaoying unscathed......"

"Zhang Hua is a traitor?" Lin Yi's eyes widened.

Xiao Ying hurriedly corrected, "Of course it's fake, it's Brother Zhang's trick." ”

Lin Yi found that Xiao Ying's attitude towards Zhang Hua had changed for the first time, and when he mentioned this person before, Xiao Ying scolded him for being a bad guy and hated him very much.

At this time, everyone praised Zhang Hua for his good performance as a traitor this time, and even Erhu, who usually only glared at him with his fists, extended his thumb to Zhang Hua for the first time.

For the first time, Zhang Hua felt like a master of strategizing, the water snake twisted his waist, shook his head, and the face of the knife security guard turned into a shoe-like face, and he felt that he was fluttering.

Lin Yi is also very useful in his heart, it seems that it is right not to kill him at the beginning, everyone will make mistakes, they all have advantages and disadvantages, they can't be killed by the people of Hancheng, give them a chance, so that they can abandon evil and follow good, promote their strengths and avoid weaknesses, this is of course the best, it is more valuable than killing them.

You must know that the court at the end of the Ming Dynasty was corrupt, full of holes, internal and external troubles, but these civil and military ministers and military generals still have a lot of plastic talents.

In the absence of any plug-in, as a crossing, in the face of such a mess, if you want to achieve a counterattack and do a vigorous career, you can't rely on just one person, as long as you can be good at employing people and make the best use of your talents, you can turn the tide and help the building to fall.

Lin Yi patted Zhang Hua with a smile, "It's good, this plan is not a small credit, it's a plastic talent!" ”

Zhang Hua said with a smile: "There is no comparison with adults, adults are strategic, and they can defeat the Tartars repeatedly, especially if it weren't for the adults' strategies and retreating on foot this time, we would have been wiped out long ago.

"Oh, it's okay, you still gasp when you say you're fat, and you kid still drags words, it's so sour......" Wang Qi said and gave him a fist, and then everyone laughed.

In this battle, the guerrilla commander Zu Keyong was seriously injured, lost too much blood, sometimes unconscious, sometimes awake, and the arrow behind Wang Jian was never taken off, He Tao, Erhu, Wang Qi, Dongsheng and others were also colored, but fortunately, Xiaoying, who sacrificed their lives to protect, was unscathed.

Even those who were wounded and not injured, one is counted as one, and there are still 18 people left after the end of this battle, and the guerrilla commander brought more than 1,000 horses, plus more than 100 people such as the Sanchakou guard, and fought these battles with the Tartars, and now there are only 18 people left.

18 people again!

Lin Yi clearly remembered that when he first crossed over to occupy this body, he fought with the Tartars, and there were 18 people left.

The difference is that this body was seriously injured and dying, and it was only through itself that it was able to occupy this body.

Can't stay here for a long time, the Tartars have suffered such a big loss, and they will make a comeback soon, Zu Kuan's brigade has not arrived for a long time, waiting here is waiting for death, and you must leave here immediately,

But where to go? Lin Yi asked the guerrilla commander, Zu Keyong now threw himself to the ground with the five bodies that Lin Yi admired, obeyed his words, and he was seriously injured, so Lin Yi was fully responsible, and Lin Yi became the acting guerrilla commander.

After discussion, Lin Yi decided to go to Yongping for a while.

A few dozen miles to the east is Yongping City, where they hurried to treat the injuries of Zu Keyong and Wang Jian.

Up and down the slope, there were corpses everywhere. Now they don't have time to clean up the battlefield, and the corpses of their comrades can't take care of it.

In front of the corpses of Dazhu and others, Lin Yi and others stood solemnly, although this person was born a thief, but this time he died vigorously, which made people awe-inspired.

Facing Dazhu's blood-drenched corpse, Xiao Ying cried like a tearful man, vowed to kill more Tartars to avenge him, hastily buried the corpse, and then they carried the wounded number and rushed to Yongping......

After Lin Yi and the others left for more than an hour, Amin rushed to this hill with thousands of tartars, and they searched around for a long time, but found nothing.

It was dark, and the exhausted Tartars had to gather their troops and return to the camp.

The next day, Amin brought a large number of Tartars to Yongping to kill, and six or seven thousand iron horsemen swept over the ground like a tornado......

Lin Yi and the 18 of them, two seriously injured and five lightly injured, finally Yongping City was in sight after several tosses.

Yongping and later Lulong County area, in the late Ming Dynasty was an important military town. Especially in recent years, the Tartars have made a detour through Mongolia and repeatedly invaded Gyeonggi, and the Yongping area has also been harassed by the Tartars.

A few years ago, both Amin and Azig had occupied Yongping City, and after the Tartars retreated, there were heavy troops stationed here, and the city defense was also very strong, which was called the high city and the deep pool.

But now a large number of Tartars have ravaged the land of Gyeonggi, Yongping General Soldier and Du Si went with thousands of men and horses Qin Wang, there are only more than 1,000 people left here to defend the city, and most of these more than 1,000 generals are old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and the military general who leads the army is the garrison Wang Cheng of the city.

Because the Tartar soldiers invaded Gyeonggi, it was not very far from Gyeonggi, so Yongpyeong City was in a semi-closed state during this time, and only two hours at noon opened the city every day, allowing ordinary people to enter and exit, but they had to go through strict checks, and the four doors were closed and locked at other times.

Now there is still more than an hour before dark, the sun is high in the sky, but the four gates of Yongcheng are closed like iron barrels, there are patrolling soldiers at the head of the city, and the outside of the city is desolate.

Lin Yi called the city on the other side of the moat, and after verifying their identities, Li Qi, the prefect of Yongping, asked the garrison Wang Cheng to drive the city to take Li Linyi and them into the city.

In terms of official duties, the garrison is inferior to the guerrilla commander, but it is higher than the 100 commanders in the army. After greeting each other, Lin Yi came to visit the prefect instead of Zu Keyong.

Li Qi and Wang Cheng inquired in detail about Lin Yi's battle with the Tartars, and learned that Lin Yi and their achievements were great, defeating the main forces of the Tartars several times, and even the prominent figures of the Qing royal family, Yue Tuo and Amin, were planted in the hands of their team.

How are Yue Tuo and Amin characters? Conquered Mongolia, invaded the Ming Dynasty, and hit the capital of the dynasty, but now they are all defeated in the hands of this army. More than 1,000 generals were gone, and only eighteen of them remained.

The prefect Li Qi and the garrison Wang Cheng and others respected them as celestials. Because they know that the army of the Ming Dynasty can deal with the thieves, and the Tartars outside the pass are more losses and fewer wins, especially in the field, the Ming army has no chance of winning at all, it can be said that it is a battle and a defeat, so when the Tartars came, the Ming army was like a bird with a frightened bow, and many local soldiers fled from the wind.

Lin Yi and they won more with less, breaking the myth of the invincibility of the Tartar field, how could these magistrates not be in awe?

The prefect and the garrison treated the 18 of them as if they were guests, and the prefect and his staff personally visited the injuries of Zu Keyong and Wang Jian, and found the best Langzhong in the city to treat their wounds.

Lin Yi and the 18 of them also felt a great honor.

Because the emphasis on literature and light on military force was the maladministration of the Ming Dynasty. Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang started with Huaixi 24 cloth clothes for quite a few years, and after winning the world, he was worried that these generals would not fall off the tail and endanger his throne.

Then Zhu Yuanzhang began to formulate a strategy of emphasizing literature and light military force, and after Zhu Di, the king of Yan, overthrew his nephew and ascended the ceremony, his governance also became more and more important and light on military force, although Yongle Emperor became one of the emperors who made great achievements in history, but it laid a bane for the demise of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

Civilian officials are popular, military generals are suppressed, even eunuchs can command troops, coupled with the maddening factory guard forces, military generals have always been unable to stand up in front of civilian officials, and military generals who are very capable will also be looked down upon by civilian officials, not to mention their low-level soldiers.

The prefect and the staff of the three divisions and yamen personally met and visited these military reckless men, and Zu Keyong felt that they had received great courtesy.

Zu Keyong and Wang Jian, who were lying on the hospital bed, thanked the Yongping prefect and the garrison and other staff, and the prefect and others were also polite and let them recuperate well.

In front of the prefect and others, Zu Keyong and Wang Jian praised Lin Yi, and for a while, Lin Yi became a big hero in people's minds.

Two days later, the battle report came, and Amin came to Yongping with a large number of Tartars, and Yongping City became a pot of porridge......
