10. The apparition of Taizu
Looking at Zhang Tianlu's hideous face, Lin Yu let out a string of sneers and responded with a machine gun.
"Treason and traitor, everyone will be punished!"
"Doodoo ......"
A shuttle of bullets flew out of the muzzle with blue flames, and flew over the heads of countless Ming soldiers who knelt on the ground and surrendered, and instantly shot Zhang Tianlu and his men and horses into a hornet's nest, and fell to the ground with a "poof".
"Surrendering the Tartars is definitely not our intention, Lin Shoubei spares his life! The boss is persecuted, and I dare not disobey! β
The frightened Ming rebels disarmed and kowtowed, begging for mercy one after another.
The commander of the artillery battalion in the distance, Nikan, was furious when he saw this, and ordered to open fire on the surrendering Ming army.
"Brother, wake up!"
A young rebel of seventeen or eighteen years old clutched a mutilated corpse and cried, "Tartars, shit, why are you so ruthless? My brother is only fifteen this year, and his bones are not left by your bombing! If the official asks me to surrender, we will surrender with us, what can we soldiers do? β
Seeing the ironclad car rumbling past him, the rebel stood up and pointed to the northwest, and shouted: "Lin Garrison, the blue flag in the northwest direction is the location of Nikan, the commander of the Tartar artillery battalion, just now I followed Zhang Tianlu, the dog thief, to report the news." You blow up that side fiercely, blow up this son of a bitch to avenge my brother! β
Duoduo had already run away, and it was a miracle to be able to blow up Nikan, Lin Yu felt that this rebel army was not lying, so he immediately turned the barrel of the cannon to aim at the blue flag in the northwest, and frantically clicked the "shoot" button with his finger.
In an instant, more than a dozen shells flew out with a roar, aiming at the location of the blue flag, and carried out a saturation bombardment, which was full of dust and bones.
A moment later, a wail sounded in the Qing army: "Oh no, Dorobelle has been blown up!" β
Nikannai is the son of Nurhachi's eldest son Chu Ying, and is famous for his courage and good fighting among Nurhachi's descendants, so he is deeply valued by the Dolgon and Duoduo brothers, and has been following Duoduo to fight in the south and the north, and has made great achievements, and has been named Gushan Beizi and Dorobelle.
In terms of status, Sadu, who had just been killed, could be described as a candle flame in front of Nikan, which was naturally incomparable, and after the news spread, the Qing army was almost in mourning, and the army's heart collapsed, and they fled north with the retreating banner like a swarm.
Lin Yu drove Merkava all the way to chase and crush, chasing for seventy or eighty miles, and killing more than 2,000 Qing troops, until he entered an area full of lakes, then stopped the pursuit, turned around and headed for Yangzhou to return.
When Lin Yu returned to the city of Yangzhou, Ma Yingkui, Zhuang Zigu and others had already led the soldiers and civilians of Yangzhou out of the city to clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses to avoid the outbreak of the plague.
"Zhenjiang, you have made a great contribution this time, and you have given me a lot of face as an uncle!"
After the ironclad car stopped, Shi Kefa took Liu Zhaoji, Yan Ermei, Chen Yujie and others to greet Lin Yu.
Lin Yu hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, and said with a smile: "Uncle has won the award, and it's all like this...... The credit of the ironclad car, this is God bless the Ming, God bless Yangzhou, just gave me the artifact, hit the Tartar! β
Shi Kefa, Liu Zhaoji, Chen Yujie and others looked around the tank at close range, reaching out to touch here and there, all of them were full of praise and amazement.
"Zhenjiang, where did you get this ironclad car?"
After the joy, Shi Kefa remembered the crucial question, Yangzhou City has been surrounded by the Qing army for several days, where did such a big guy come out of nowhere?
Lin Yu had already thought of a reason on the way back, and said unhurriedly at the moment: "Back to my uncle's words, my son-in-law was lying in bed after being infected with the wind and cold, and I saw the figure of Emperor Taizu in a daze......"
Shi Kefa and the other staff's faces changed, no one dared to intervene easily, no one could confirm this dream, naturally what Lin Yu said was what it was.
"Emperor Taizu instructed his son-in-law to go to Xingguo Temple to kowtow two heads in the direction of Nanjing Xiaoling, and then kowtow fourteen heads in the direction of Beijing, and silently chanted in his heart 'God bless the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will win', and there will be an artifact from heaven to help us defend the city and retreat from the enemy.
The son-in-law didn't take it seriously after waking up from the dream, thinking that he had a dream in a trance......
Hearing that the Qing army was attacking the city with heavy artillery, the son-in-law hurriedly boarded the city to defend, but forgot to put on his armor and was persuaded by Deputy General Ma to go down the city wall. On the way home, he was bombarded by Tartars, causing the accompanying maid to be seriously injured.
The son-in-law was furious and decided to return to the city wall to kill the enemy.
Passing through Xingguo Temple remembered last night's dream, according to the dream of Taizu said, first kowtowed to Nanjing two heads and then kowtowed to Beijing 14 heads, there was really an ironclad car from the sky and landed in the temple, the son-in-law drove according to the instructions to kill the enemy, then defeated the Qing army, and kept Yangzhou City. β
Lin Yu's words were not made up casually, but added some psychology, such as why did he kowtow sixteen instead of fifteen or seventeen?
Because the Ming Dynasty from Zhu Yuanzhang's founding to Chongzhen's hanging in the coal mountain, there were a total of 16 emperors before and after, except for Zhu Yuanzhang who was buried in Nanjing Xiaoling, Zhu Yunwen was nowhere to be found, and the other 14 emperors were buried in Beijing, which happened to correspond to what Lin Yu said.
Although everyone present felt that what Lin Yu said was a bit mysterious, they couldn't refute it, the brass and iron chariot in front of them had surpassed their cognition, if what Lin Yu said was false, then where did this chariot come from?
If you are not convinced, then you can explain?
Whoever is not convinced, who will explain!
Shi Kefa stroked his beard and said: "It seems that it is really the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty who appeared under the Nine Springs, so that Yangzhou can avoid this catastrophe and let the Ming Dynasty continue, and my Ming Qi is not exhausted!" β
After the retreat of the Qing army, the crisis in Yangzhou City was temporarily lifted, and Shi Kefa ordered Liu Zhaoji to lead the main force to continue to guard on the city wall, and ordered Ma Yingkui to lead a part of the soldiers and civilians to clean up the battlefield. He ordered Yan Ermei and Hou Fangyu to pacify the people, treat the wounded refugees, repair the bombed-out houses, and ordered Chen Yujie to repair the artillery and prepare for another battle at any time.
After counting, more than 5,000 Qing troops died under Lin Yu's tank, nearly 2,000 Qing troops were captured due to wounds and disabilities, and nearly 3,000 Ming troops followed Zhang Tianlu and Zhang Tianfu brothers to rebel first and then surrender.
"Inspector, these rebels and thieves defected to the enemy when the country was in danger, and their sins are unforgivable, so it's better to kill them all!" Hou Fangyu got rid of an angry young man and gave his hand to Shi Kefa.
Lin Yu hurriedly stopped: "Supervisor, ants still spare their lives, let alone people?" Since the occupation of Beijing by the Tartars, they have been invincible, and there are more than a million people who hope that the wind will descend to clear up? If these soldiers could see the hope of the Ming Dynasty defeating the Tartars, how could they easily surrender to the enemy? Besides, they were also forced to surrender after being coerced by their superiors, and they deserved to die for their crimes! β
"What Zhenjiang said is extremely ......"
Shi Kefa stroked his beard and groaned, "What should I do if I don't kill them?" β
Lin Yu arched his hand and said: "Although Duoduo was defeated, the Qing army has become a spark and a prairie fire, and the total number of soldiers and horses from all walks of life is no less than one million. Daming is the time to use troops, so it is better to hand over this team to the commander-in-law and defend Yangzhou. β
Shi Kefa nodded and said, "These rebels were all forced to land by you, so it is better for you to lead them." β
Liu Zhaoji agreed with Lin Yu's suggestion and ordered the deputy general Zhuang Zigu to lead a thousand Ming troops to assist Lin Yu in integrating this rebel army and forming a brand-new team, which was named the "Yu" battalion.
After a day of fighting, Lin Yu was already extremely tired, and instructed Zhuang Zigu: "General Zhuang, I'm a little tired, go back and rest for the night for the time being, and the matter of forming a new battalion will bother you." β
Zhuangzi Gusheng is burly, brave and good at fighting, and his position is higher than Lin Yu, but after this battle, he has already thrown himself to the ground of Lin Yu's admired five-body body, and said in a loud and rough voice: "Lin Gongzi has worked hard and has just been infected with the wind and cold, you can go home and rest in peace, and leave the matter of incorporating the rebels to me." β
"Since that's the case, then it's bothering General Zhuang!" Lin Yu clenched his fists in thanks, turned around and returned to the Governor's Mansion.
Liu Zhaoji, Ma Yingkui, Zhuang Zigu and other military attachΓ©s defended the city, buried the corpses of the corpses, and incorporated the rebels; Each performs his own duties, fights overnight, busy but not chaotic.
Shi Kefa returned to the Governor's Mansion with a group of staff to draft a plan, killed and captured nearly 10,000 Qing troops in a battle, and killed Nurhachi's grandson Nikan, which was one of the few great victories in the history of the Ming Dynasty, which was enough to make Shi Kefa and his soldiers raise their eyebrows.
"Inspector, how should I write the fold, and how many enemies will be killed?" Yan Ermei pinched the pen and asked Shi Kefa for instructions.
Shi Kefa weighed it for a long time, and finally said cautiously: "Just write that the garrison Lin Yu drove an ironclad car to kill 9,000 enemies, capture 5,000, and kill the Manchu Dorobelenikan, the traitor Zhang Tianlu, Dutong Sadu and others......"
Hou Fangyu frowned and said, "It's a little little, right?" If Ma Shiying is replaced, I am afraid that he will make a false report more than three times. β
Shi Kefa waved his hand and said: "If you write too much, you will deceive the king, so let's draft the fold according to what the official said!" β
