Chapter Eighty-Nine [Rushing to Ningxia]
His Royal Highness, Prince Ming Han, replied, "Now my father, I was killed by the rogue!" I finally escaped, and there was no place for me to go to the Chengxuan Political Division in Shaanxi Province, and only by going to the mother's mother's home, Sichuan Chengxuan Political Division, under the rule of Song Panwei, could I have absolute troops to protect me. ”
Hearing this, Ma Wei instantly lost confidence in His Royal Highness the Prince, and originally wanted to take him to Ningxia 7 Wei to borrow troops to fight against the Liukou, but now it seems unlikely! After sending off His Royal Highness the Prince for 1 mile, Wu Junzhen and his party also began to go on the road and walk north.
At this moment, the king of Xinshun, who is located in the Guyuan Acropolis of Pingliang Mansion, ordered to divide his troops into four ways to attack Ningxia Qiwei, by the Shun army in the battalion general: He Jin, attack Ningxia Zhongwei, Shun Junquan general: Liu Zongmin, attack Ningxia Wei, Ningxia Zhongtun Wei, Shun army right battalion general: Li Yan, attack Ningxia guard, Shun army right mighty general: Dang Shousu, attack Ningxia right tun guard, after the arrangement, the army began to set off.
However, in the Ningxia Zhongwei Commander: Du Jinlong, Ming Ningxia Zhongwei General: Gao Debao, the two of them were inspecting the military situation in the city, and it could be seen that the soldiers in the city were all depressed and lost! Probably because of the plague that I had just suffered before, and the reason why this month's Yulu had not yet been issued, the Ming army defending the city and the Ming army in the camp couldn't raise any spirits!
This made the commander of the Ming Ningxia Zhongwei angry when he saw it, and hurriedly picked up the whip and whipped it fiercely, and said, "The soldiers of the Ningxia Zhongwei, it is an honor for you to defend the land and the people, don't be ruined by some trivial things, the majesty of the soldiers of the Great Tomorrow Dynasty!" Take cheer up, and I will give you money from under my tent. ”
As soon as they heard the word silver, everyone immediately raised their spirits, but having said that, the soldiers knew that the generals did not have much money at this time, and they couldn't get any reward at all! It's just verbal self-comfort.
At this time, a burst of artillery came from the city gate, (knock, knock, knock) bombarded the Ming army of Ningxia Central Guard defending the city! Ming Ningxia Zhongwei Zhenfu: Xu Zhiquan hurriedly ran to report the situation to the commander of Ming Ningxia Zhongwei and said, "Report, Commander Qiqiwei Envoy, something is wrong!" A group of rogues are coming to the gate of the city. ”
And the commander of the Ming Ningxia Zhongwei was immediately shocked when he heard it! Hurriedly led the soldiers to defend the city, when they came to the city, they saw that the black pressure outside the city was full of enemies, the soldiers of Ningxia Zhongwei continued to reload and shoot, but the Liukou also killed more and more helplessly, Ming Ningxia Zhongwei Zhenfu decided to send troops out of the city to disturb the Liukou.
As soon as he got out of the city, he was besieged by the light cavalry of the Shun army, and the general of the battalion system in the Shun army took the opportunity to raise a long knife and rode over to cut off his head, and defeated the Ming soldiers who went out of the city to deceive the Ming army to enter the city with a token, smashed the gunpowder storehouse and defeated the Ming army in the city and took the Wei command post.
On the other hand, the general of the right battalion of the Shun army drove into the outside of the Ningxia rear guard, and from a distance, a city was erected on the high hillside, in order to successfully take this city, the general of the right battalion of the Shun army put forward, "Pass my order, the three armies immediately put on the cloth armor of the Ming army, and the Ming army was about to be caught off guard!" ”
So the soldiers of the Shun army had to take the cloth armor they had robbed before, and after the hour of half a pillar of incense, they pretended to be the rogues of the Ming army, and walked to the city to defend the city with their heads down, and the Ming soldiers hurriedly asked, "Which soldier is under the city?" Why did you flee here in such a mess? ”
At this time, the general of the right battalion of the Shun army, who was wearing the chain mail of the Ming army, raised his head and replied: "Oh, I am the commander of the Guyuan Guard, and I escaped here by chance because of the invasion of the Liukou, and our army was defeated. Let me wait in and take a shelter? ”
The Ming army who was said to be moved saw that they were also quite pitiful, and their hearts softened and they agreed to open the city gate, and the rogues who succeeded at the moment when the city gate was opened secretly rejoiced in their hearts, and the general flag of the Ming Ningxia guard: Hitomi Tanaka, stood up and said, "Slow!" Since it is the Guyuan Weiming Army, why don't you see the commander of Shaanxi? ”
As soon as the general of the right battalion of the Shun army heard that there were still people asking rhetorically, he was afraid of revealing his identity, and he hurriedly ordered the Shun army to act, taking advantage of the fact that the city gate was not yet closed, the cavalry of the Shun army quickly rushed over to kill the Ming army who opened the door and pushed open the city gate, and the Shun army in the rear quickly rushed in, shooting the Ming army on the city with bows and arrows, in order to confuse the sight of the Ming army guarding the city, the general of the right battalion system of the Shun army ordered the Shun army pretending to be the Ming army to rush up to the city tower and mix with the Ming army, so that the two sides could not tell which one was their own person and could only fight by feeling, After a while, the defending Ming army was defeated and retreated because it was too chaotic!
Ming Ningxia Guard Commander Servant: Yang Yu, who still insisted on resisting the war when everyone retreated, was unfortunately killed! The rest of the Ming generals were either captured or killed in battle, and only a few Ming troops fled to Ningxiawei.
At the same time, Wu Junzhen and the three also entered the Ningxia Wei area, because there were no fast horses, everyone had to ride ordinary horses, the speed of movement was very slow, when they came to the lower reaches of the beach river, Liu Ruilin saw that the river water was crystal clear, so he dismounted and walked to the river, stretched out his hand to hold the river water, drank a few sips, and sighed: "It's really good water!" Wu Junzhen next to him also picked up the water and took a sip, which was indeed quite sweet.
Only Ma Wei didn't say a word, as if he was thinking about something? The curious Wu Junzhen asked, "Brother Ma, what are you doing?" Ma Wei, who was thinking about things, was suddenly interrupted by these words, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, looked at Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin, and asked, "What's wrong?" Is it a rogue? ”
Seeing his absent-minded appearance, Wu Junzhen didn't bother to ask, and after filling the water bag, he continued to move on the road, but as soon as he rode his horse for a while, Ma Wei opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Wu, do you know what month and day it is?" I saw Liu Ruilin, who was riding a horse in front, interjected and replied: "Today is the first day of November, why is Brother Ma suddenly interested in time?" When he learned the time, he immediately calculated the historical battle situation and thought; Isn't this the time when Liukou attacked Ningxia 7 Guards?
Anxious, he hurriedly said to the two people on the left and right: "Brother Wu, Brother Liu, hurry up, we have to hurry up, I'm afraid it's too late!" The two of them were taken aback by his actions, but seeing that his nervous appearance was not a joke, they hurried to .......
After the time of half a pillar of incense, the three of them came to the territory of Lingzhou Shouyu Qianhu, and the Qianhu of Lingzhou who was patrolling at the gate of the city: Liang Jiaguang, immediately asked the soldiers to pull up the fence to block the horses, and shouted, "Who is coming?" Quick report to the name? The three of them hurriedly grabbed the reins, stopped their horses, and replied, "We are the military households of the Ming Dynasty, please don't be nervous!" Dare to ask how far is it from Ningxiawei? ”
The Qianhu of Minglingzhou looked them up and down, and told them that there were still sixty miles away, and Wu Junzhen immediately bid farewell to the Qianhu Lord and continued on the road after getting the distance.
Seeing that the Ming army of the thousand households was taken aback and stunned, before the Ming army could make an attack, they were covered by the artillery of the rogue (dong, dong, dong), and the powerful solid cannonballs blew up and collapsed the city towers on both sides of the Lingzhou guard, which frightened the Ming Lingzhou garrison: Fang Qiliang, knelt on the ground on the spot and raised a white flag to surrender to the Liukou! made the angry Minglingzhou Qianhu swing a knife to slash the Minglingzhou garrison, and led the soldiers to block the city to resist the rogue until he died in battle!
Then General Shun Junquan asked the soldiers to collect the supplies, and the rest of the army continued to march towards Ningxiawei.
At noon, the three of them took advantage of the change of guard at the city gate to enter the Ningxia Acropolis, looking at the crowded market, the three had to dismount and lead the horses to walk, and after walking for a while, they saw the soldiers patrolling the city, Wu Junzhen strode forward and asked, "This little brother, may I ask, where is the guard command post going?" ”
The patrolling soldier glanced at him and said, "Thirty meters to the west, just turn a corner." After hearing this, Ma Wei hurriedly set off, and Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin behind him also accelerated their pace, and when they arrived at the door of the Wei command post, they showed a token for the soldiers to go and report the news.
The soldiers didn't dare to be careless, after all, the town was guarding the border pass, so they immediately ran to the guard command post and reported, "Lord Commander Qiqiwei, there are three people outside the door who want to see, two of them are military households, do you want to meet them?" The commander of the Ming Ningxia Guard, who put down the account book in his hand: Hou Shilu, immediately nodded and agreed to let them in.
After the soldiers returned, the three of them walked in, and under the leadership of Wu Junzhen, they began to salute and said, "The last general will see the commander of the guard, and the envoy will be the one, flow..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the commander of Ming Ningxiawei: "Where are you two from the military household?" Please come quickly. ”
Faced with the questioning of the commander of the Ming and Ning Ningwei envoys, Wu Junzhen and Ma Wei began to answer: "We are a military household who fled here from Tongguanwei, and this one next to us is a companion we met on the road, he wants to join the army and serve the country, so he will go forward with us." After speaking, the two of them handed over the guard army token to the commander of Ming Ningxia Wei to watch.
Seeing that the token in his hand was indeed at the level of a military household, the Ming Ningxia Wei Commander took the two of them down to arrange accommodation, and when he was walking on the street, the Ming Ningxia Wei Commander asked, "You must know their methods if you have fought with the Liukou in the past?" What does Wu Qian think of the power of the Liukou? ”
I saw Wu Junzhen step forward and replied, "Although there are many rogues, there is nothing to be afraid of, the only thing to be afraid of is that they are good at using tricks, so that our army has been defeated one after another!" To think ....... Before he finished speaking, a soldier suddenly ran over and reported: "Report, the commander of Qiqiwei, the direction of the northern border of the Yuan'er Dusi found that the cavalry of the southern Mongolian West Tumut is approaching, and please ask the commander of the guard to show the envoy?" ”
Knowing that the Mongols had invaded the border, the commander of the Ming Ningxia Wei did not dare to be careless, and immediately asked the soldiers to send an order to transfer the four Ming armies of Ningxia Pingnan Shouyu Qianhusuo, Ningxia Zuotunwei, Ningxia Zhongtunwei, and Ningxia Youtunwei to drive out the Xitumut cavalry, leaving only the Ningxia Qianwei to guard the city.
