Chapter 129: Reinforcements Are Coming?
Zu Dashou suddenly perked up and blurted out: "Really? ”
When everyone heard the news, they all stood up in surprise and asked in unison, "Where are the reinforcements?" ”
Guo Hu said loudly: "It's true! Reinforcements have reached Luojiabao in the western suburbs! ”
The people were overjoyed, and immediately poured out of the big tent and went to the top of the city to look. The city of Dalinghe in Luojiabao is less than seven miles, and you can see it when you stand on the head of the city.
Zu Dashou climbed to the top of the city surrounded by the generals, looked at it from a distance, and saw the dust and smoke billowing at the Luojia Fort in the western suburbs, and the sound of killing shook the sky, it seems that the Ming army is still very strong, although the Tartars tried their best to resist, but the Ming army still poked hard in the direction of Dalinghe City like an arrow.
Zu Zerun shouted loudly: "Father, look, it's reinforcements, it's really reinforcements!" ”
Zu Zeqing also blurted out: "Great, great! Reinforcements are finally here! ”
The generals were also thunderous.
Zu Dashou looked at his son's ecstatic and a little out of shape, and couldn't help but feel lost. After all, these sons are still too young and too uncomposed, and it is difficult for them to become big weapons.
He Kegang looked at it for a while and said, "Zu Shuai, since the imperial army is here, then we might as well quickly open the city gate and go out to join the army!" ”
Although the reinforcements outside the city fought bravely and fiercely, there were more and more Tartar soldiers, and the Ming army was under great pressure and kept fighting.
Zhang Cunren, Guo Hu and other generals also agreed to send troops to join the reinforcements, and the inside should be combined with the outside, breaking the siege of the Tartar soldiers in one fell swoop.
Zu Dashou pondered for a while, and finally made up his mind to go out of the city to receive reinforcements.
Zu Dale, Zhang Cunren, and Guo Hu led the troops first, opened the city gate and went out of the city to receive reinforcements.
He Kegang asked his own soldiers to bring the horses over, and he also wanted to get on the horses and go out of the city to kill the enemy. Zu Dashou grabbed him and said, "Ke Gang, you see that you are sick like this, how can you still have the strength to kill the enemy!" In this way, Ben will lead the army out of the city to receive reinforcements first, and you organize the army and civilians in the city to prepare for a breakthrough. ”
"Zu Shuai......" He Kegang's eyes were moist, Zu Dashou was still such a very good commander, and he still loved himself very much at such a moment.
Zu Dashou turned over and rode his war horse, and galloped out of the city surrounded by Zu Zerun, Zu Zeqing, Zu Zepu, Zu Kefa and others.
He Kegang's war horse was given to the general Xu Guojian. The war horses in the city have already been almost killed and eaten, and only a limited number of people's mounts such as Zu Dashou and He Kegang have not been eaten.
Zu Dashou led nearly 10,000 soldiers in the city to kill out of Dalinghe City and rushed to the reinforcements of the Ming army who rushed over. Although the soldiers in the city were already hungry and had no strength, the reinforcements were in front of them at this moment, and they had the hope of life, but they all rose up one by one to the last remaining courage and rushed to kill.
Three miles.
Two miles.
One mile.
Close, close! Reinforcements are just around the corner!
Zu Dale, Guo Hu and others were less than twenty steps away from the reinforcements, and they saw that if they rushed to kill again, they could connect with the reinforcements. Everyone's hearts were lit with infinite hope, and their morale was suddenly extremely high, and their momentum rushed forward like a rainbow.
At this moment, the reinforcements of the Ming army, who were fighting fiercely with the Tartars in front, suddenly left the Tartar soldiers and killed the defenders of Dalinghe City led by Zu Dashou and others.
And the Tartar soldiers who had slashed and killed with the reinforcements no longer cared about those reinforcements, and turned around and killed the defenders.
This strange change in this scene, the incident happened suddenly, it happened too quickly and abruptly, Zu Dale, Zhang Cunren, Guo Hu and others were suddenly stunned, and they didn't react to what was going on, and the defenders were killed countless times in a daze.
What's going on? Why did the reinforcements suddenly attack their own people?
Zu Dashou followed Zhang Cunren and others in the middle of the command, and he was also stunned when he saw this scene. However, after all, Zu Dashou is a person who has seen a big scene, and after being stunned for a while, he suddenly realized that this was actually a fake reinforcement from Director Tatar, and his real intention was to lure him out of the city so that he could capture or kill him alive.
Zu Dashou, who came to his senses, hurriedly shouted: "Da Le, Cunren, we have won the scheme!" Evacuate! ”
As he spoke, Zu Dashou flicked his horse's head and quickly turned around and ran towards Dalinghe City.
Zu Zerun, Zu Zeqing, Zu Kefa and other generals also hurriedly followed Zu Dashou to retreat.
Zu Dale, Zhang Cunren and others heard Zu Dashou's shout, and they also woke up at the moment, and they all waved their knives to kill back.
The defenders of Dalinghe City were stunned, no one could have imagined that this successful rescue was actually pretended by the enemy, and the fighting spirit that rushed to the sky quickly dissipated like a leaky balloon, and they all ran for their lives, and were immediately defeated by the Jin soldiers.
In the melee, Zu Dashou was almost captured alive by Jin Bing, but fortunately, Zu Dale, Zhang Cunren, Zu Kefa, Guo Hu and others fought hard, so he was rescued and fled back to Dalinghe City in embarrassment.
This time out of the city to receive false reinforcements, the defenders of Dalinghe City killed more than 2,000 people, the generals Guo Hu, Liu Dongshan, the guerrilla Liao Ba, He Yongtai, Ma Guolong, garrison An Defei, Jiang Dali and other more than ten generals died in battle.
After escaping back to Dalinghe City, Zu Dashou, Zhang Cunren, Zu Zerun and others who had palpitations were paralyzed on the street behind the city gate, panting incessantly, Zu Zerun, Zu Zeqing, Zu Kefa and others even hugged their heads and cried.
He Kegang saw this scene at the head of the city, and he was also so shocked that he couldn't speak, and when he saw that the crowd was about to come back, he hurriedly dragged the weak sick body forward, and asked hoarsely: "Zu Shuai, what is going on?" How so? ”
Zu Zeqing was young and vigorous, and he was frightened, so he was angry, and said first: "What's the matter? It's not that you said that we should go out of the city to pick up the reinforcements, but the reinforcements turned out to be fake! You'd better hide behind ......."
"Zeqing, shut up! Hugh is rude! Zu Dashou saw that this kid was really not like words, and the more he talked, the more unreliable he became, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to scold Zu Zeqing.
"Yes, father." Although Zu Zeqing was young and frivolous, he did not dare to challenge his father's majesty, and when he saw Zu Dashou angry, he hurriedly shut up.
"I don't know how thick the sky is! Don't hurry up and apologize to General He! Zu Dashou was so angry that he scolded again, among the several sons, this Zu Zeqing is more intelligent, but he is also the most arrogant, and there are many rude performances in his words and deeds, and he really has no vision.
He Kegang's prestige and qualifications in the army are not low, and his popularity is also very good, many generals are very convinced of him, and he is known for his prestige and respect among the soldiers in the border towns of eastern Liaodong. Not to mention a female child like Zu Zeqing, even Zu Dashou himself, who is also very polite and respectful to He Kegang. He is good, he came up and accused He Kegang, and his words were quite disrespectful, isn't this to embarrass himself?
Besides, it was Zu Dashou's intention to let He Kegang stay in the city, and Zu Zeqing was also present at the time, how could he be accused of being greedy for life and afraid of death? How insulting is this to an old soldier?
Zu Zeqing still wanted to distinguish it, but Zu Dashou glared again, so frightened that he hurriedly swallowed back what he was about to say, bowed his head and said: "General He, please forgive my nephew for being rude, my nephew has made amends to you." ”
He Kegang hurriedly said: "It's not that serious, Zu Shuai is serious, don't be too serious, scare the child." ”
Zu Dashou waved his hand at Zu Zeqing, signaled him to retreat, turned his head to He Kegang and sighed and said, "Kegang, I didn't expect Hong Tai's dog thief to be so cunning, this time it turned out to be a reinforcement pretended to be a dog Tartar!" The brothers have lost a lot, and my heart aches! How should this Great Linghe City be defended? ”
Zu Dashou said, quietly turned around and gently wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, the brothers died tragically, and he felt uncomfortable. These are the brothers who followed him from birth to death, and they can be said to be the cornerstone of his ancestor's life.
He Kegang and the generals were silent, and no one could think of a good way.
