Chapter 115: Tang Tong's Death (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
On the banks of the Wei River, a new pontoon bridge has taken shape on the wide river surface. On the forcibly requisitioned boats, there were one or two subordinates of Li Yan and the Red Lady. Under their command, the boatmen lined up the boats on the water, connected them with ropes, and fastened them together with long wooden planks to form an improvised pontoon bridge. On and off the bridge, the boatmen were busy, and the blue-clad and white-hatted soldiers of the Great Shuntian shouted and cursed from time to time, urging the project to speed up.
The pontoon bridge was barely passable, and a horse riding the Dashun army carefully rode through the night, and when he arrived at the south bank, he found Li Guo who was sitting under his own Daxu banner and closed his eyes to recuperate.
"Lord Hou, a group of cavalry appeared in the northwest direction, more than a thousand people, I don't know whose family?"
"I don't know whose family?" A bearded man standing beside Li Guo asked, "Isn't there a flag?" ”
"I don't see a flag."
The bearded man turned his head to Li and said, "Brother, could it be the reinforcements of the Zhu thief?" ”
"Maybe." Li Guo squinted his eyes, "The Zhu thief Guan Ningjun on Yongping's side hasn't heard any news of his return, right?" ”
"The Tang newspaper I received today didn't say anything." This bearded man's name is Li You, and he is Li Guo's brother and his deputy. "However, with Xin Sizhong and Luo Hu leading troops to guard, the Zhu thieves on the Yongping side should not be able to draw troops to the south."
"That's natural," Li Guo smiled, "If it were a soldier, he wouldn't have hidden his tracks so much, and he wouldn't even dare to fight a banner...... However, they are not necessarily the soldiers and horses of the Wu family. Xu is a nearby Haoqiang or a Zhu thief general who wants to return to the forehead. ”
"What the eldest brother said is also true, there are many heroes who come and go these days."
Li Guo thought for a while, and then said: "There are thousands of people horizontally and vertically, there is nothing to be afraid of...... Wu Sangui's Yiding Raid is like this, can there be more powerful elite soldiers on the Zhu thief's side? ”
"I don't have it anymore." Li You laughed.
At this moment, one of Li Yan's subordinates hurriedly stepped up and reported: "Lord Hou, the pontoon bridge has been firmly established. ”
"Good!" Li Guo stroked his slap and stood up, "Order, cross the river, meet Tang Tong first, and then catch the prince of Zhu Thief together!" ”
The pro-soldiers on the left and right responded violently.
……
The sound of the horn whimpered, echoing around the barrier where Tang Tong was entrenched. This kind of horn is not a common thing in the Ming army, but it is used to being used by all kinds of Hulu in the north of the Guanwai Fortress. The Guanning army often dealt with them, and also hired many Hulu warriors to serve as their householders. That's why we have this kind of horn.
A tall white-haired old man, riding on a horse at this time, slowly blew the horn vigorously. The low whimpering sound crossed the barrier made of straw bags and reached the ears of every Tang family general.
And to the south of the rampart, backed by the north gate of the north city of Tianjin Wei, the ironclad knights of the brigade had already dismounted, and were absorbing enough water to step on the somewhat muddy ground to line up the offensive formation.
The soldiers of the Tang family, who were holding straw bags and looking out with side cards, looked at those tower-like giants, and everyone was frightened.
The performance of these Yiding Tuqi on the tower of Tianjin Weibei City is indeed not brave. But now that the battle formation is listed, it still makes people shudder to look at it!
Look at this formation, this block, this posture...... The appearance of holding a knife and a spear is similar to the door god in the painting!
It seems that the Yiding Tucai is still very powerful, they must have left their hands on the city, and they are deceiving Tang Tong Tang's general soldiers......
Tang Tong was also watching, his face turned white with fright, but he still tried to pretend not to be afraid.
"Hehe, it looks good, it's enough to catch up with the Han general, but what's the use of this? Dashun even has the world, this Wu Sangui is still stupid and loyal to the Zhu thief, and vainly tries to block the car with his mantis arm, which is really ridiculous......"
Just when he was cheering himself up, Zhang Wenjue, a loyal minister who was in the camp with a clear heart, had already held a white flag and ran hard, tearing his throat and howling as he ran.
"I am Yu Shao'an, the head of the bow battalion Yu Shao'an......"
"Zongzhen, Yu Shaoan seems to have let Zhu Thief arrest!"
"Xu is here to persuade him to surrender, do you want him to come over?"
Tang Tong is humane left and right.
"Let him come," Tang Tong said with a smile, "It's good to delay for a while." ”
With these words, Yu Shaoan quickly climbed into the barrier, and after seeing Tang Tong, he didn't speak, so he knelt in the mud first, kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Zongzhen, the little one is guilty, the little one killed the brothers of the bow and arrow battalion, and called the Zhu thief to capture him alive...... Little sorry for your old man's cultivation! ”
"Lost?" Tang Tong frowned, and said in his heart: Isn't it surrender?
"Yes, it's all gone...... Yu Shao'an cried as soon as he spoke, "The sword-dropping soldiers of the Zhu thief are too fierce, all of them are wearing strong armor, invulnerable, and the brothers in the bow and arrow battalion can't resist even if they fight hard, so they all want them to be cut down." ”
What? All cut! So ferocious?
The officers and family members around Tang Tong were all cold-cold.
This Yiding Tuqi is really ferocious!
"All dead?" Tang Tong's face also turned blue, "Hundreds of people are dead?" ”
"It's all chopped up, and all of them are dead!"
There are no dead bodies......
Yu Shao'an cried so sadly, and said with a handful of snot and tears: "It was Wu Sangui, the chief soldier of Liaodong, who personally led the team to charge, then Wu Sangui is really a brother than a Tartar, killing people without blinking, the small one fell into his hands, and it was supposed to be chopped up, but fortunately, the Chitose Lord was gracious and spared a death, so let the small one persuade the chief town master anyway." As long as the chief town master is willing to do it anyway, everyone who follows the chief town master will have a reward of two taels of silver......"
"Humph!" Tang Tong snorted coldly and interrupted Yu Shaoan's words, "The world of his family is dead, who is still following him?" Following the Zhu family is a dead end! ”
"Master Zhen, what you said is not right!" Just around Tang Tong, someone actually sang the opposite tune loudly.
"Who?" Tang Tong rolled his eyes, and he had already found that the person who spoke was actually his own brother Tang Laosi.
"Fourth, what are you talking nonsense?" Tang Tong glared at Tang Laosi angrily.
"Who is talking nonsense, the brothers know very well in their hearts!" Tang Laosi snorted, "What kind of life did we live when we followed the Zhu family, and what kind of life did he live with the Li family now?" Don't talk about silver, not even copper coins! How many brothers have died in Tianjin Weibei City in the past few days? It can be seen that there is a penny of bereavement pension? If you continue to fight like this, your brothers will be killed...... Shouldn't you be the only one left to be Li Zicheng as his founding hero? ”
"Someone, take it for me!" Tang Tong roared, and several of his family members drew their blades and were about to step forward to arrest them. But who knew that Tang Laosi was not alone, and there were also many dry soldiers of the Tang family army who showed their knives and greeted them!
An infighting is about to happen.
When Yu Shaoan saw it, he hurriedly opened his throat and shouted: "My own brother, don't hurt your peace...... Now it's the Zhu family, the Li family, the Zhang family, and the foreign Tartars are fighting for the world, are we still afraid that there is no chance to fight for wealth and wealth? Since the Li family doesn't cherish us, why do we bother to work for him? As long as you have a knife in your hand, where is it not fragrant and spicy? My own brother, why do you want to use a knife for the sake of who you are refuge in? ”
Tang Laosi continued his words and said: "Those who are willing to follow the fourth child to return to the Ming Dynasty are all brothers of the fourth child, and they will share difficulties and blessings in the future!" If you are willing to follow Tang Zongzhen to return to Dashun, the fourth child will not stop you, there are horses in the barrier, you can ride and go. ”
Walk?
Tang Tong's face was pale, could he escape like this? Without the strength and the task assigned by Li Guo, what are you going to do when you go back to Beijing? 5,000 pairs of sticks have been prepared......
But he didn't dare to return to the Ming Dynasty! Daming has fallen to the present, isn't it because he defected to the enemy in Juyong Pass? And he also took Chongzhen's 40,000 taels of silver to surrender to the enemy!
This has to go back and fall into the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, and Ling Chi must be executed!
"Master Zhen, the fourth brother is reasonable, my own brother, don't hurt the peace......"
It was one of Tang Tong's henchmen who spoke, he was originally going to arrest Tang Laosi, but now he is standing by Tang Laosi's side!
"You ......" Tang Tong was furious, raised his waist knife and wanted to pounce on it and cut people, but suddenly a sharp pain came from behind him, he looked down and saw that a bloody knife tip appeared in his chest at some point!
