No. 165 Li Dingguo resists the enemy!
Li Dingguo, Jiao Lian, Wu Jisi and other generals shouted for battle.
Morale is available!
Zhu Youlang looked around at everyone, and suddenly became arrogant, he pressed his hand, signaled the generals to be calm and not impatient, and then said in a sonorous and powerful voice: "Thousands of Tartars are arrogant and arrogant for hundreds of miles, menacing, and there are three shun rebel thieves as wings, vainly trying to attack from east to west, annihilating my main force of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop, and it is already in danger!" ”
Seeing that the cronies and generals beside him listened to his words with resolute eyes, and felt that everyone's emotions had been manipulated by him, Zhu Youlang simply paused and said: "I have made up my mind to live and die with the officers and soldiers of the three armies, and I will never allow the Tartars to succeed!" Even if there is misfortune, under the banner of the bloody Daxu, this battlefield is the place where I am buried! ”
He paused for a moment, and then solemnly announced: "I immediately ask General Wu Yibo Li (Li Dingguo) to lead the soldiers of Zhongwu Town in his headquarters to intercept the Tartar elite cavalry. ”
Before he could say a word, he said: "Except for the two wings of General Yuan (Yuan Zongdi), the rest of the knights of the three armies are under the command and dispatch of General Li, just like listening to my orders. If I unfortunately die in battle, General Li will be the commander of the whole army and keep the Ming fire!
Therefore, the heavy responsibility of saving the dead and restoring the society is all on General Li and Zhu Qing!
I am under the banner of the Chinese army, personally holding the drum, and destroying this dynasty food!
Zhuqing works hard, and does not live up to my high hopes! ”
Then Zhu Youlang bowed to Li Dingguo and said: "In this autumn of endangering survival, I will entrust the lives of the soldiers of the three armies to the Qing of the Ming Dynasty, and the Qing will be worshiped by me!" ”
In the middle of the Son of Heaven's speech, some of the sergeants cheered, some cried bitterly, and more although they had no expression, they had already made up their minds in their hearts to die and die for the country, at any cost!
As soon as the words of the Son of Heaven were finished, the knights of the various towns gathered one after another under the command of the cavalry general, ready to listen to Li Dingguo's dispatch.
Li Dingguo knelt down on one knee, solemnly accepted the military order, and when he got up and raised his head again, the tiger's eyes were already slightly wet: "Your Majesty is not a minister from a humble background, and a minister is entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and the minister dares to be ineffective?"
The minister will follow the order to lead the army and go to entangle the Tartar with all his might, Your Majesty and relax, as long as the minister does not die, he will never let a Tartar come!
Your Majesty, I hope that you will go all out to strangle the three shun rebels, and you must kill those Han thieves who have forgotten their ancestors! ”
Zhu Youlang nodded solemnly.
Li Dingguo got off the Chinese army chariot with his head held high, and then swung his fist too much and blushed, and said loudly: "Swear to kill the Tartars!" Daming will win! ”
"Swear to kill the Tartars! Daming will win! ”
"Swear to kill the Tartars! Daming will win! ”
……
At first, dozens of people, then hundreds, thousands, and finally 50,000 soldiers gathered together, flapping their shields, shouting in unison, like a thunderbolt, the tone was really not small, and in one fell swoop overshadowed the roar of the hooves of the five thousand Tartar riders!
The Ming army united in a sudden burst of chanting, startling Geng Zhongming, Shang Kexi and others on the opposite side, seeing that the Ming army arrived at this time, the army's morale did not drop but increased, and it was unexpected, and he couldn't help but snort and scolded a few words loudly.
Li Dingguo turned over his horse, galloped out of the military formation, allocated and dispatched men and horses, divided responsibilities, and deployed as soon as the deployment was set, the sound of war drums had sounded, and the Son of Heaven fulfilled his words, he was in armor, personally holding the drum, and beating the war drum to the sound of "boom, boom, boom, ......", knocking his hands sore, and sweating profusely.
With indomitable courage, Li Dingguo took more than 8,000 foot soldiers and more than 3,000 knights to quickly break away from the main force of the army and rushed to the east of the battlefield.
A black banner embroidered with "Wu Yibo, General Zhaowu, and Chief Military Officer Li of Zhongwu Town" was suddenly raised high in the interception army. All the foot soldiers and knights who had turned to fight against the enemy were gathered by it, and they merged into an unstoppable current, heading in the direction from which the Tartars had galloped.
As the distance between the two armies became closer and closer, after Li Dingguo chose the terrain, he ordered the deputy general Bai Wenxuan to be responsible for organizing the infantry to form a formation to block the attack, and more than 3,500 knights from various towns all followed him to fight with the Tartar cavalry!
General Tun Tai was not surprised to see that the Ming army came to intercept, and he was full of confidence to defeat this interception force of the Ming army in one fell swoop!
The Eight Banners are brave in the world, and they have always been warriors who are one enemy to ten, or even one to twenty or thirty, and they are never afraid of field battles! More than 4,000 elite cavalry with white flags and seven or eight hundred Dongjiang cavalry are enough to sweep away thousands of troops!
According to the normal troop deduction, the more than 10,000 Ming troops who came to intercept on the opposite side were not enough for them to charge!
These elite soldiers of the Eight Banners are all one person and two horses, dressed in cotton armor nailed with copper nails, some with silver iron armor, and the lightning rod on the leather helmet is held high, and they wield the fine iron sickle in their hands, revealing bloodthirsty, fierce, and cruel faces one by one! He is a veteran of the battlefield who has fought for decades!
Under the banner of the word "Li", Li Dingguo personally led 10,000 foot cavalry to stand head-on, Zhongwu Town was adapted from Xiying, with fewer firearms, mainly cold weapons, the weapons of the Xiying cavalry in addition to the bows and arrows that can shoot each other left and right, there is also a big stick made of heavy sandalwood, the whole two ends are square, and the middle is round.
When the two armies are in contact with thin and short soldiers, it is difficult for spears and halberds to play a role, and the use of this kind of competent guy is the most effective way to kill the enemy, and the use of "big stick tactics" specially used to block the iron cavalry of the Eight Banners is a positive measure that Li Dingguo arranged in advance before the battle with the Son of Heaven, considering that he may confront the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners, and it was used at this critical moment.
The foot soldiers behind him each carried a spear with a sickle tied to it, or they were armed with long knives or axes, which were also used against the cavalry.
"Soldiers! Tartars are wreaking havoc in China, shaving their hair and making it easy to wear, bullying the people of my Han family, and destroying my clothing and inheritance, which is unbearable!
This battle was the first great battle between my loyal army and the Tartar cavalry! We must fight the military might of my loyal army!
It's time to take revenge and serve the country! ”
Li Dingguo rode slowly on horseback, inspected along the team, he was not only an outstanding military general, but also a good eloquence to encourage the sergeants, every time he went out to mobilize, he would say revenge and shame, and when it came to emotion, tears fell down in tears, and all the troops were moved.
"You are all old brothers who have been fighting with me for decades, and you are all good men who dare to fight and kill! On the battlefield, don't care how fierce the enemy cavalry is, as long as you hold the spear and big knife in your hand tightly, your legs don't tremble, and your mouth doesn't dry, you are a first-class brave soldier! Don't look up, just use the hemp knife on the spear, the long knife and the big axe to cut the enemy's neck and armor connection, and cut the horse's leg, and you will definitely be able to defeat the tartar! ”
