Chapter 41 Burning the Joint Venture
Just as the so-called drunkenness is still open, after the officers and men of the three armies drank the wine of life and death, each of them held the determination to live to death.
But when everyone heard that I was going to go into battle myself, they all persuaded me not to take the risk.
I pulled out the saber at my waist and said sharply, "I didn't know how to fight before, so I lost everything. Now I have no one except General Zuo Liangyu who can fight land battles. If I don't stand up and lead the troops to fight, who will protect my country in the future? Who will protect my Chinese children? Needless to say, even if I die in battle, I will die as I deserve! ”
After saying this, the officers and men of the three armies became even more excited, and they were eager to try.
Looking at the wolf-like soldiers, he said loudly: "As the so-called soldiers are noble and fast, this battle should not be delayed, and the three armies will act as planned immediately!" ”
The plan I am talking about is actually the tactics that were formulated before, and the focus of this tactic is to prepare to burn Wu Sangui's ten-mile company battalion.
The reason for the use of fire attack tactics is actually quite simple.
Although Wu Sangui had an army of 100,000, the army was camped between the mountain passes, and there was only one way to advance and retreat.
And now it is autumn and winter, everything is dry, as long as a fire passes, Wu Sangui's company camp will inevitably be burned to ashes, and there is no way to retreat.
The reason why the buddies formulated this tactic is all based on the judgment made by those ancient military books and the war cases left by their predecessors.
......
According to the established plan, I dressed in armor, and Zhang Zhao and I each took 3,000 archers, and slipped out of the city at night.
Then the soldiers divided into two roads and climbed to the mountain beams on both sides of Wu Sangui's camp.
Standing on the dark mountain beams, the archers were like wolves walking in the night, their eyes full of blood, waiting for my order to release their arrows.
And I looked at the rows of Wu military tents at the foot of the mountain, I was nervous and excited, this is the first battle I crossed over to officially command, I can only win, I can't lose!
After a moment of silence, I ignited the rocket in my hand and yelled, "Release the arrow!" ”
Tens of thousands of arrows shot at the Wu army camp like flying fire meteors, and the soldiers in the camp were sleeping soundly, not knowing what was happening, and by the time they reflected, the camp was already in flames.
I watched Wu Jun scream as they were burned one by one, and the painful screams pierced the silent night sky, as miserable as a ghost crying wolf.
After a long time, a guy in white pajamas came out with a knife and shouted, "What's the matter? ”
It was none other than Wu Sangui's traitor!
"Report to the marshal, the Ming army suddenly attacked the camp at night, and now we have no way to retreat."
Wu Sangui looked at it, and the camp tent in the col burned like a fire dragon for dozens of miles, and the soldiers in the camp tent had already panicked like ants, throwing away their armor and running in all directions.
"Obey my orders, the army can attack the city, and the fugitives will be killed!"
Wu Sangui shouted, and wanted to lose a fight to the death, and his generals immediately organized a large army to prepare to attack the city.
He thought it was good, but I had expected his move a long time ago, and I had prepared in advance.
When he organized the men and horses, and just rushed out of the burning camp, Zheng Chenggong led 10,000 horses to suddenly kill him.
Although Wu Sangui's soldiers had experienced a hundred battles, they had never fought such a quick encounter, and soon the besiegers were defeated one by one.
As a result, Wu Sangui's 100,000 troops fled to the death, and they were scattered at once.
And he himself, standing in the midst of the fire, his eyes resentful, could not let go for a long time.
Seeing this, his lieutenant general said in horror: "Dashuai, let's go, it's too late if you don't leave!" ”
The deputy general pulled him hard, and he yelled and said: "Chongzhen, if I, Wu Sangui, don't kill you in this life, I will not be a man!" ”
With that, the traitor returned to his tent and changed into his armor, and then turned around and galloped on his red horse.
He wanted to run, but how could buddy let him slip away.
I quickly mounted my horse, led a team of dozens of people, rushed down the mountain col on a prancing horse, and then ran after Wu Sangui.
Suddenly, Wu Sangui's jujube red horse raised his head in fright by the burning tent and screamed, buddy, I didn't hesitate at all, opened my bow and arrows, and shot at Wu Sangui with a whoosh.
"Protect the marshal!"
Wu Sangui's lieutenant shouted, and several soldiers blocked the arrows for him, and then surrounded us.
Seeing this, the buddy jerked the scimitar on his waist violently, and slashed at those soldiers.
Since I was sitting on a horse, the soldiers in the underground were no match for me at all, and with a few brushes, Lao Tzu hacked three soldiers to death, and their eyes were covered by the blood they splashed out.
I picked up my arm to wipe the blood from the corner of my eye, then licked it from my mouth, and roared like a wolf: "Wu Sangui, if I don't capture you today, I will be a great tomorrow!" ”
With that, I whipped my horse, stepped over the dead bodies on the ground, and the prancing horse galloped wildly.
After Wu Sangui heard the shout, he said arrogantly: "Chongzhen, just because you are a weak emperor, what can you do to me?" You'll come if there's a kind! ”
After saying that, he grabbed the horse's head and made a head-cutting gesture at me, like a bloodthirsty cheetah.
Seeing that he was so arrogant, I shook off the archers behind me and rushed forward single-handedly.
Riding on the horse, I was nervous and excited, and kept drawing arrows from the quiver box, and swished past.
Because the distance was too far, and Wu Sangui was running again, I didn't hit him with a few arrows, and my face turned red in a hurry.
Soon, Wu Sangui was forced to the bottom of a mountain col, and without saying a word, he shot again with his bow and arrow.
Wu Sangui was caught off guard, and the person who was shot flipped on his back, and finally fell to the ground.
Seeing this, I thought that Wu Sangui was dead, and then shouted and said, "Traitor, where are you fleeing?" ”
As I spoke, I reached for the arrow box, but I fucked it out, and I ran out of the arrows in the magazine.
As a result, I panicked.
Dude, I have to admit that my only skill now is archery, and I don't know any other martial arts at all. If I fight hard with Wu Sangui, I will definitely not be his opponent.
Thinking of this, I turned my horse's head and prepared to run away, but at this moment, Wu Sangui suddenly jumped up from the ground and shouted: "Where to go!" ”
As he spoke, he swung his long knife and cut off my horse in one fell swoop.
The horse screamed and fell to his knees, buddy, my center of gravity was unstable, and I fell down with a heel.
"Chongzhen, I thought you didn't know soldiers, but I didn't expect me to be caught off guard by your battle, it's really three days away, I must be impressed!"
As he spoke, the beast walked towards me step by step with a knife in his hand, his eyes revealing a murderous aura.
Dude, I had no choice but to retreat, thinking to myself why I was so unlucky, and at the critical moment, I didn't bring enough arrows.
"Didn't you try to capture me alive? Come on! ”
As he spoke, Wu Sangui slashed at me with a knife, but he didn't kill me, but deliberately scared me.
What to do? What should Lao Tzu do?
I was so anxious that I had retreated to the stone wall at the foot of the mountain, but I didn't have any fear in my heart, thinking that if I won this battle, even if I died, it would be worth it.
"Wu Sangui, you don't talk nonsense, kill if you want to!"
After saying that, I patted the dust off my body and prepared to stand up and die.
However, what I didn't expect was that I found that I actually had a "weapon" for self-defense in my chest.
The reason why he has this "weapon" is thanks to Mu Xia's unruly little monarch.
Here's the thing, that day I was going to go to the front line of Ningde in person, after Mu Xia's little girl knew, she came to see me off, before parting, she said that I don't know martial arts, worried that something would happen to me, so she gave me a slingshot she carried, and asked me to take it for self-defense.
"Since you have said so, then I will fulfill you!"
After speaking, Wu Sangui swung his big knife and slashed at my neck.
Just as the knife was about to hit my neck, I fell to the ground, pulled out my slingshot, picked up the stone, and hit him.
"Ah...... Ah......h
The slingshot slammed into his left eye, and he screamed, covering his eyes and bleeding.
"I'll kill you!"
He roared wildly and slashed at me with a long knife, but because he was blinded in his left eye and in pain, he didn't have a crosshairs.
At this moment, Wu Sangui's deputy general rushed over with dozens of people, helped him and said, "Dashuai, hurry up." Zheng Chenggong has already brought people to chase him! ”
When Wu Sangui heard this, he was not in a hurry at all, but reached out and gouged out his eyeballs, and roared loudly: "Kill Chongzhen and leave!" ”
