Text 216.The Battle of Yunnan (13)

What Jiang Le didn't know was that in fact, the Ming army had already set up an ambush near the ferry, and at the same time as Jiang Le arrived, the Ming army's bow and crossbow had already been aimed at the Yuan army that was sneaking in, just waiting for the Mongols to attack when they gave them a pot of stew, but the follow-up happened to the surprise of all the Ming generals: the Yuan army not only did not make a move, but came out of the formation with a white flag to surrender. Responsible for the ambush near the ferry is the deputy marshal Lan Yu, seeing this situation, Lan Yu smiled, and wanted to come out to surrender, but was stopped by his subordinates, Lan Yu insisted on going out in person despite everyone's obstruction, and explained with a smile: "If there was fraud, it would have been used a long time ago, and at this time the fraud is the stupidest, besides, you look at the soldiers behind him, how can they look like they are about to rush up at any time?" ”

The subordinates were worried about Lan Yu's safety, but they still insisted on following out, Lan Yu and a group of people hit horses and went straight to Jiang Le, seeing that someone from the Ming army came out of the battle, Jiang Le was happy to bloom, only to see him turn over and dismount, throw his weapon on the ground, hold the white cloth high with both hands, and shouted to the generals of the Ming army: "Under Jiang Le, lead the 10,000 elite soldiers under his command to sincerely surrender, may I ask which general of the Ming Court is opposite?" ”

As soon as Lan Yu waved his hand, a personal soldier beside him stepped forward and took the white cloth in Jiang Le's hand, and Lan Yu said: "Even if you know each other, you know that if you really sneak attack, my tens of thousands of troops will already be ambushed around you, and you can be wiped out at any time." Let me ask you, what is your position? Why don't you sneak attack but surrender? ”

When Jiang Le heard this, he secretly congratulated himself on his wise choice, he knelt and climbed a few steps in the direction of Lan Yu, revealing a flattering smile: "The last general's name is Jiang Le, and he lives in ten thousand households over there. As for why I surrendered, the last general knew that the Ming Emperor was the mandate of heaven and was the co-lord of my China, and I was also a Han Chinese, so I naturally wanted to serve my Han court, and I had long wanted to defect to the Ming court, but I didn't have the opportunity to surrender. Now the imperial army is coming to the city, the Mongols are exhausted, the main general on the north bank Yelu Liang asked me to sneak attack the ferry, covering his main force to break through, I don't want to follow the Mongols to fight with our own family, so I pretended to promise, but in fact I came to surrender, you see what I prepared, whether there is an ambush or not, the last general is sincerely surrendered. ”

Where is Lan Yu willing to believe Jiang Le's nonsense, thinking that you are surrounded on all sides, and you have to surrender because you are desperate, but now you are forced to say helplessly and high-soundingly, which can be regarded as a clever tongue. Lan Yu pointed to the direction of the Yuan army's large array behind Jiang Le, and ordered with arrogance: "In order to show your sincerity, you go and tell your people now, the cavalry dismounts, everyone puts down their weapons and surrenders obediently." ”

Jiang Lele agreed in a hurry, turned over on his horse, galloped towards the Yuan army camp, came to the front of the formation, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fighting is also death, the Ming army has ambushed 100,000 troops in our four places, fighting is to send to death, the Han people do not fight the Han people, let's surrender to the Ming court, listen to me, put down the weapons, surrender." ”

Jiang Le was foaming at the mouth to persuade his subordinates to surrender, and an arrow flew out of nowhere, which was shot at Jiang Le's shoulder, Jiang Le screamed, fell off the horse, and rolled back and forth on the ground in pain. Jiang Lezhong fell from the horse with an arrow, and Lan Yu in the back saw it clearly, he knew that if he didn't show these people some real characters, some people would not surrender willingly, Lan Yu decisively gave an order: "The whole army shouted together, surrender, don't kill, and those who resist, cut off their heads." ”

Lan Yu had just finished shouting, and the soldiers of the Ming army behind him shouted together: "Those who surrender, don't kill, and those who resist will be beheaded." Immediately, the Ming troops who were in ambush around also shouted: "Those who surrender, do not kill, and those who resist will be beheaded." ”

Thousands of people shouted together, it was really huge, the Han soldiers in the Yuan army were unwilling to fight, and immediately put down their weapons when they heard the shouting, and the soldiers of the Miao, Yi and other ethnic groups who originally planned to fight also lost their fighting spirit, and after hesitating for a while, they also threw away their weapons, only those Mongols held stubborn resistance to the end, still holding weapons, but no one dared to move a step.

Lan Yu then shouted, "Whoever puts down his weapon, raise his hands above his head and occupy the east side." All the soldiers of the Ming army also shouted: "Whoever puts down his weapon, raise his hands above his head and occupy the east side." "He who lays down his weapon raises his hands above his head and occupies the east side." ”

As soon as the words fell, two groups of people were immediately divided on the opposite side, one group had thousands of people, there were soldiers of the Han people, Miao, Yi and other ethnic groups, they raised their hands and walked towards the east in an orderly manner, and the other group of less than 1,000 Mongolian soldiers, they still did not give up their weapons, and stood in place without moving.

Lan Yu's right hand was raised high, and then he swung downward: "Release the arrow." At the same time as Lan Yu's order exited, thousands of archers behind him raised their bows, and thousands of arrows left the bowstring, and the sound of the bow and arrow crossing was more piercing at night than during the day, it was the kind of whistling sound with a strong killing intent, but this sound was more pleasant to the ears than the sound of heaven to Lan Yu.

Hundreds of Mongol soldiers became the target of the Ming army, and many Mongols were shot by thousands of archers with tens of thousands of arrows before they could escape, and after several consecutive volleys, only a few wounded soldiers who groaned slightly remained on the battlefield.

"All the Mongol soldiers, whether they live or die, have their heads cut off and their corpses thrown into the river." Lan Yu coldly ordered.

Yeluliang on the north bank was wiped out, and although the defender Darima on the south bank did not know, he did not sleep all night, because the soldiers guarding the river on the south bank heard that there seemed to be movement on the north bank, in order to prevent the Ming army from secretly crossing the river at night, Darima ordered the whole army to be on guard, and he himself came to the river to observe the movement of the river.

Since the discovery of the beheaded corpse in the river yesterday, Darima realized that a fierce battle was really coming, and he ordered that every half hour the front should report to him the latest military situation, and he knew that the ferry was ended, and Yeluliang was in fact completely surrounded. But Yelu Liang was in a desperate situation, Darima not only did not feel sad, but felt very happy, Darima didn't even think about crossing the river to rescue, he hated that the Ming army would immediately annihilate Yelu Liang and get rid of the thorn in his side.

Darima stood by the river for a long time, and he shivered in the night when the river breeze blew, so he had to return to his temporary tent by the river, and because he was too tired, he soon fell asleep on the table, and in his dream, he dreamed that he led his troops straight into the main formation of the Ming army, and killed the Ming army and abandoned his armor. He dreamed of Zhang Xiaoyi, the Han concubine of Liang Wang Xinna, who was full of charms, and in the haze, he and Zhang Xiaoyi didn't know how many times the clouds and rain were.

I don't know how long I slept, but the shouts of a soldier outside the big tent woke up Darima: "I want to see the big handsome, let me in,

Dashuai, oh no, here we go again. ”

Darima got up smartly, damn, he and Zhang Xiaoyi are having fun, who the hell is so annoying, Darima rubbed his eyes and walked out of the tent, and asked impatiently: "What are you shouting, what's coming again?" ”

The soldier pointed in the direction of the river, with a very frightened expression on his face: "There are a lot of corpses in the river, more than last time, thousands of corpses." ”

When Darima heard this, he was really startled, and the little good mood he had saved in his dream dissipated in an instant. When he hit the horse and came to the river, the scene was bloody and tragic, and Darima, who was almost frightened, shook the horse's back several times, only to see that the river was full of floating corpses, all the floating corpses had no heads, some of the floating corpses were stripped of their clothes, and they were floating on the water with strips, and there were scattered and some severed arms and legs floating alone on the water. I don't know if it's because of the red blood or the reflection, but the river water that Darima sees is a muddy red. After looking at Jiang for a while, Darima suddenly felt a violent nausea, and he retched on the horse's back.

At this moment, Darima's personal soldiers shouted loudly: "Great commander, look at the other side." Darima looked up, only to see that there was movement on the opposite bank, a large number of Ming troops had arrived at the shore, and continued to transport a large number of wooden stakes and bamboo from the rear to the shore, it was obvious to catch up with boats and bamboo rafts by the river, Darima frowned, and was just about to give an order, when he heard another pro-soldier shout again: "Dashuai, look over there!" Darima looked at the fingers of his own soldiers, and suddenly became angry, only to see a large cloth several zhang long pulled up on the other side, and the cloth was written in bright red letters: "Those who surrender will not be killed." The recalcitrant one, beheaded, sinking the river. ”

Dari gritted his teeth angrily, and ordered viciously: "They won't build too many ships temporarily, and they can't build big ships sooner, so transfer all the crossbowmen, and as long as they dare to cross the river by boat, they will shoot them with arrows." ”

Darima observed the Ming army on the north bank by the river, on the north bank, Fu Youde and others were also looking at the south bank, Fu Youde smiled and watched Lan Yu command people to prop up the big cloth, and relaxed pointed to the opposite bank and said: "You see, this river is so urgent, we can only build some small boats temporarily, and we can't transport many soldiers at a time, if only a few hundred people pass at a time, it will be for them to eat in vain." As he spoke, he turned around and swept around the crowd, and asked solemnly, "Do you have any ideas?" When Fu Youde was talking, he glanced at Yao Guangqi intentionally or unintentionally, but Yao Guangqi kept looking at the other side and didn't seem to pay attention to Fu Youde's eyes at all.

In fact, Yao Guangqi and Zhang Yu had already calculated a strategy, but just now, Yao Guangqi suddenly thought that the strategy that he and Zhang Yu thought of was probably that Mu Ying and Lan Yu would also think of it, and it was better to give them the credit now, so that they would get the lottery, and they would not stare at me all day long, so Yao Guangqi pretended to have no idea at this time, and waited for Lan Yu or Mu Ying to come up with a tactic.

At this time, Lan Yu happened to command the people to finish arranging the big cloth, and Fu Youde asked Lan Yu with a smile: "Is there a good idea to cross the river and fight?" ”

Lan Yu had actually planned it a long time ago, but he didn't know if others had already proposed it, so he deliberately asked, "I don't know what the other generals think?" ”

Mu Ying replied to him with a smile: "We're thinking about it, but we really haven't come up with a good way." ”
