Chapter 196
Since I'm not sure which army the other party is? Therefore, Da Shun Zai Hou did not dare to act rashly! They didn't dare to move on, but let the Shun army archers come forward and aim at the distant fleet on the shore to shoot arrows.
This move is actually to destroy the enemy as much as possible, after all, in the territory of Shaanxi Xingdu Division is already the world of Dashun, any tribe and country without permission to step into the enemy, basically belong to the Shun army's enemy, so this move can be described as the meaning of guarding the frontier.
Hundreds of arrows were fired at the fleet on the river, and the sharp arrows were inserted into the boats and stabbed more than a dozen soldiers of the Western Tumut of Southern Mongolia, and also alarmed the Western Tumut and other fleets.
However, the Situmut Commander did not care, but said unmoved, "Mongolian: ignore them!" Only the soldiers and horses of the recruiting division were cleaned up, and the fleet continued to move forward. ”
The archers of the Shun army on the shore here are still holding arrows, but the fleet has slowly moved away, and the Marquis of Da Shun, who pretends to be smart, still whispers happily, "Hehehe! Sure enough, it was a barbarian Tartar, and when he saw the army of the commander of the cuckoo, he fled in despair! It doesn't matter if they know each other. ”
On the side, Dashun West Cave Fort Commander Brigade: Wu Lingshen also praised, "That's natural, Lord Zaihou's prestige has already spread throughout the entire Shaanxi Xingdu Division, who doesn't know who doesn't know?" Don't say it's these barbarian Tartars, even if it's... ”
Before the words were finished, the soldiers of the Shun army pointed to the road beside the woods in front of them and said, "Look, there are enemy troops? ”
The alarmed enemy troops immediately formed a formation, scattered and entered the combat state, and quickly shot arrows and fell on the soldiers of the Shun army, stabbing many people.
Seeing this, Da Shun Zai Hou commanded the soldiers to resist with shields, and the rest of the soldiers prepared to set up cannons and release arrows, never thinking that the other party quickly sent out a cavalry armed with a hook and a long knife to rush over, and there was a spear behind the cavalry to charge.
It seems that it should be coordinated to kill the enemy to break the formation or cut the legs of the opponent's horses, which made the Shun soldiers a little scared, but still let the Shun cavalry meet them head-on and stab a few enemy troops with strong crossbows.
After the bow and arrow team and the fire team of the Shun army were ready, the firepower began to rise, and the charge of the opposing cavalry was suppressed in an instant, as if aware of this, the opposing general raised his sword and shouted, "Kang Fangyu: Pull the artillery up." ”
I saw a row of soldiers from the Duogandan Recruitment Division and the Duogancang Recruitment Division under the dark clouds, pushing eight "earthen cannons" and ten return cannons, roughly adjusting the direction and igniting and throwing stones at the soldiers of the Shun army.
The hot solid shells shot out by the burning stones and the muzzles of the guns quickly fell in front of the Shun army and exploded, shaking up layers of wet dirt and breaking the hands and feet of many soldiers, who shouted in pain according to their wounds, while the Shun army medical soldiers carried stretchers to pull the wounded down.
In the face of the sudden attack of the two soldiers of the Recruitment Division, the artillery battalions of the Shun army were not to be outdone, they pulled up five magic cannons, three tiger squat cannons, and two general cannons loaded into shells to prepare for launch, but their moisture-proof measures were not very good, plus the long-distance marching shells were wet with rain, resulting in only three or four shells when the fire was fired, and they could not continue to fire!
On the contrary, he asked the soldiers and horses of the recruiting division to hold shields, and slowly broke through the firepower point of the Shun army on horseback to rush to the front, and slashed at the Shun soldiers who held the bow with hooks and sickles and long knives, and solved the two rows of shooting rogues at once.
Then he went straight to the cavalry battalion of the Shun army, which was going back and forth, and wanted to meet the border army of the Dashun Empire to test his combat effectiveness, so he pounced and replaced the crossbow arrows, and shot two shots in the distance to deter the enemy, and only slashed with a saber in close combat.
At the beginning of the battle, the cavalry of the Shun army behaved relatively normally, and they could still block the attack of the cavalry of the Zhao Division, but the cavalry of the Shun army did not have lasting combat effectiveness and was not the opponent of the grassland athletes at all, not to mention that the spearmen acted as helpers, and after two rounds of fighting, many of the cavalry of the Shun army were stabbed off their horses, and some of them were killed alive by the cavalry of the Zhao Division who raised a hammer and smashed the phoenix wing helmet!
The worst thing is the Shun cavalry wearing felt hats, the armor on the body was cut from the flanks by the hook sickle, and the chest was stabbed by the other party with a spear and fell to the ground, some of the Shun cavalry were cut off with helmets on their heads, and the scene was very bloody!
Of course, the cavalry of the Recruiting Division was also hit, due to the emptiness of the back and no defense due to the wielding of spears and hooks, some of the Shun cavalry swung their knives from behind and stabbed them fiercely, and some of the cavalry wielding the treasure hammer were cut off by the cavalry of the Shun Army, and fell to the ground and trampled to death.
The battle situation was very unfavorable for the Shun army, in order to save the situation, Da Shun Zaihou ordered the whole army to make the best move, all pulled out the Yanling knife and lancet and rushed towards the two recruiting soldiers.
In the face of the Shun army that would only use brute force to suppress the number of people, he instantly made Duogan Cangtang invite the thief, he directly led the army to rush to the Shun army under the commander of the Liukou, and the Liukou was defeated at once, and the hammer hit the chest of the Shun army wearing piercing armor, causing many Shun soldiers to fall to the ground.
In the panic, Da Shun Zaihou shouted: "Resist! All to the cuckoo to withstand. ”
But having said that, there were still people who took the lead in escaping, and even the generals around him persuaded him, "Lord Zaihou, hurry up and retreat!" If you don't leave, it's too late! ”
In order to disrupt the enemy's position as soon as possible, the artillery men of the Recruiting Division also moved their artillery forward, and bombarded the Liukou army in the right position, so that they were forced to retreat in defeat, and when they fled, they were slaughtered by the recruiting division's soldiers and horses, but they did not take advantage of the victory to pursue? Perhaps their goal was to go on to attack the next castle (Tojifu or Shandanwei).
In the process of escaping, Da Shun Zaihou was very unwilling! He shouted to the heavens, "O heaven! Cuckoo was deserved to be martyred. After saying that, he pulled out his saber and put it on his neck, wanting to kill himself.
However, he was stopped by the generals around him and did not die, so he had to flee in embarrassment and go south to Liangzhou Wei along the official road, trying to counterattack the enemy with the help of local troops.
At this moment, in the camp outside the Qiantun Acropolis of Guangning, the capital of Liaodong, the general of the Mingning Yuanwei: Yang Kun, who was patrolling the Mingning Yuanwei General Banner: Niu Hu, asked, "How is the situation outside the city?" ”
I saw that the general flag of Mingning Yuanwei replied, "If you return to the general's words, everything is fine!" But there will be something I don't know! Now that the people have been arranged by General Wu into the city of the Wei Command Post, why hasn't our army been ordered to go south to enter King Guanqin? Why do you have to stop outside the gate to trim up? ”
Although he is a confidant of General Wu on this point, General Ming Ning Yuanwei does not understand it very well! Because Wu Zongbing has always played cards according to the routine, and besides, there are two of his brothers who hold military power outside the gate, maybe they are discussing a piece of Qinwang who will go south at this time?
Sure enough, in the guard command post, the commander of the guards of Ming Guangning, who was sitting: Wu Sanfeng, and the Ming Guangning Zhongqian Guard: Wu Sanfu, looked at his second brother Ming Ning Yuanwei General Soldier: Wu Sangui, and said calmly, "Second brother!" It's been a long time since we've gotten together! In recent years, Liaodong has been in turmoil, even in the Central Plains! ”
However, when he heard what he said, he asked rhetorically, "I don't know what the eldest brother is thinking?" You might as well say it so that I can wait for the brothers to discuss! ”
But the eldest brother Ming Guangning's former commander of the guard was embarrassed to speak! The third brother Ming Guangning had to prepare for the Qianhu in front of the third brother Ming Guangning and said, "Second brother, I have a letter from my father to you, and I will open it and take a look." ”
As soon as he heard that there was a family letter, the second brother Ming Ning Yuanwei directly stretched out his hand to pick up the third brother Ming Guangning Zhongqian Yu Qianhu, and quickly opened the family letter from his sleeve and looked at it.
It doesn't matter if you look at it, but it really freaks him out? He immediately lowered his cheeks, picked up the letter and asked, "Is this true?" ”
The two brothers in the Wei command post hurriedly comforted: "Uncle! You have to be calm, we have to look forward, the so-called people who know the times... ”
But the general soldier of the Mingning Yuanwei, who was dedicated to the country, shouted: "Enough! As a Ming general, he should die on the battlefield, how can he surrender to the enemy? Since His Majesty the Emperor is dead! Daddy fell into the hands of the rogue, then we should send troops to rescue Daddy, and also be loyal to the Ming Empire and avenge the dead Emperor Majesty. ”
As soon as the words fell, he was retorted on the spot by the eldest brother Ming Guangning, the former commander of the guard: "Okay! Then there you go! It is already a protest to delay the fighters to enter the customs and enter Beijing to rescue the driver, and rashly send troops not to mention whether our army's soldiers, horses, food and ammunition are enough, if this angers Dashun, then the lives of our Wu Mansion will not be guaranteed! ”
Then, the third brother Ming Guangning, Zhongqian Yu Qianhu echoed again: "That's right! Second brother, think about it, our wife's room is still in the hands of Liukou, and the second sister-in-law Chen Yuanyuan is also... ”
Speaking of this, the general soldier of Ming Ning Yuanwei was a little shaken, he turned his head to look at the third brother Ming Guangning Zhongqian Yu Qianhu, and his eyes also revealed a trace of murderous aura, and he was approaching him step by step, as if he wanted to pinch his neck.
At this moment, suddenly someone clapped and laughed?
Realizing that someone was eavesdropping on their conversation, which made the general soldier of Mingning Yuanwei a little angry, he quickened his pace and stepped forward and slowly pulled out his portable saber to slash, but saw a polite scholar man? Dressed in Confucian clothes, he walked out, greeted him very politely, and said, "Presumably this is the famous Lord Wu Zongbing, right?" Look up for a long time, look up for a long time! Today, I am here to convey a friendly letter on the order of Emperor Dashun, and I also invite Mr. Wu to take a look. ”
After speaking, he asked people to hand over the letter to the general soldier of the Ming Ning Yuanwei, and after he took the letter, he saw that it was written (Emperor Dashun sent a letter; I have long admired the prestige of Wu Zongbing, and now I have ordered Lord Zun to return to Dashun, and Mrs. Ling has also been treated well by me, and the families of Wu Mansion have been treated by me to enjoy glory and wealth in the palace, I hope that Lord Wu Zongbing will be able to understand affairs after seeing this letter and return to Dashun as soon as possible! At that time, I will be rewarded with a heavy reward, and it will be on the 15th day of the first month of the first year of Yongchang. )
The general soldier of the Ming Ning Yuanwei who had read the letter was completely shaken by the persuasion letter of His Majesty the Emperor of the Dashun Empire this time, and he was a little moved, because he had also received a letter of persuasion before, but it was not sent by Dashun? It is a letter of persuasion sent by the northern Jiannu Tartars, who are at war with him all the year round, but the pen name is a letter written by his uncle (the former Ming Guangning Zhongtun Guard: Zu Dashou) to persuade him.
But you're not tempted? First, because Dongyu and himself are mortal opponents, and I don't know how many brothers have died at the hands of both sides! And they did not surrender to the Eastern Captives, because they were Tartars, and they were the number one enemy of the Ming Empire, and the enemy that His Majesty the Ming Emperor wanted to destroy in his dreams, so the Ming Ning Yuanwei General Army rejected them.
But this time is different from last time, one of them is in the hands of the whole family of the Wu Mansion is in the hands of the Liukou, and the second Dashun is also Han in the poor way! In the past, the people of the Ming Dynasty, their three major Shuns attached more importance to themselves and treated their families well, so the Ming Ning Yuanwei General Soldiers thought about it and decided to surrender to Dashun.
