Three, four, five, I want to fight to the death!
Three, four, five, I want to fight to the death!
(Thanks to the 'Phantom Shuang' brother for the reward, thanks to the 'Peibin' brother for the monthly pass, and thanks to the 'sibyl~~Huanbao' brother for the reward.)
I don't recommend it next week, so I can only ask the brothers to take care of it.
The big war is coming, please see how Lian Zining responds, hehe, brothers guess? οΌ
"Kill the head?" Chen Dakang sneered: "Killing the head is also a matter of the future, Xu Pengju is gone, our group of dragons has no leader, we will definitely be defeated, if you don't leave, stay here and I'm afraid that I won't survive today!" If you escape, you can live two more days! He Xu Dashuai has escaped, can't we still escape? β
"Mark it and listen to your lordship!" All the officers had no intention of fighting and responded in unison.
Chen Dakang gave orders one after another, and the 5,600 people of the Shenwu Right Guard formed a phalanx and killed the outside step by step.
"My lord, shall we chase after us?" The adjutant asked.
"Why are you chasing?" Amin laughed: "Although his subordinates are elite, they are only a thousand people, what is it?" If we catch up with a fierce battle, it will damage our sons. They fled back, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty would not bypass them, haha, they are all dead anyway, why should we do it ourselves? Do you still need to make this effort? β
In fact, until now, the Ming army that has died under the Jurchen Iron Cavalry has only been more than 10,000 people, and the number of people who have died by cannibalism and battalion roaring is more than 30,000! However, if the Ming army can have a capable person to stabilize the battle, appease the army, organize the defense, and wait for the crazy energy of the camp to pass, the soldiers will come to their senses and fight to the death, and they may not be able to bite back, causing huge damage to the Jurchens. Even if you can't fight back, self-defense is more than enough, at least you can preserve the vitality of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and turn a total annihilation into a big defeat.
The two are not the same.
However, Xu Pengju's escape completely buried the last chance of the Ming Northern Expeditionary Army. The composition of the Northern Expeditionary Army is complex, the Beijing Guard, the local guard, and the border army are not subordinate to each other, and they are not convinced by each other, except for Xu Pengju, no one is qualified to lead everyone, so that everyone is willing to obey orders.
When Erle and Ze broke through the camp again with the kidnapping horses, and were about to turn around and fight again, there was a dense sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and according to the sound of hooves, Erle and Ze judged that the comers were at least 20,000 cavalry!
He grinned, these grandsons, the time to pick up the cheap is a good choice.
Immediately on the high post, he couldn't look at the Ming army camp burning in the distance, and the screams of killing echoed in his ears, and he smiled at Mr. Liang beside him: "It seems that we are not too late!" β
Liang Yanqiu smiled slightly, and said to Ha Bugong: "The Great Khan has grasped the timing just right, the defeat of the Ming army this time has been decided, and the day when I Fu Yuwei crosses the north and south of the Songhua River is just around the corner!" β
He couldn't laugh heartily, and with a wave of his hand, the tide-like Fuyuwei elite behind him let out a whining strange cry and went towards the Ming army camp.
The addition of Fu Yuwei became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Ming soldiers and soldiers completely collapsed, and they could no longer organize the slightest resistance, but just fled in all directions. And the cavalry of these nomads followed behind in groups of three or five, easily harvesting human lives.
At this time, Zilharang also besieged with his foot soldiers to fill in the corners that the cavalry had not paid attention to.
When morale is exhausted, the army is absent, there is no organization of officers, there is no unified order, no matter how many elite soldiers there are, they are lambs to the slaughter. The change of Tumu Fort is the most typical example. 500,000 Beijing troops were the most elite and elite group of professional soldiers of the Ming Dynasty at that time, they were experienced in a hundred battles, brave and resolute, but when the entire battalion was defeated, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers, they immediately became a mass of scattered sand. was slaughtered by 30,000 Warat cavalry, pigs and sheep slaughtered!
30,000 slaughtered 500,000, this comparison is actually not an exaggeration at all.
The massacre continued until early in the morning, when the camp was completely reduced to ashes. About 20,000 Ming troops were captured, and they were all disarmed and sat on the ground in piles, staring blankly and motionless. There are Jurchen or Fuyuwei's cavalry around with bows and arrows ready to fight, as long as they see the slightest movement, they will immediately shoot an arrow.
On this night, about 40,000 or 50,000 Ming troops were slaughtered, and more than 20,000 were captured, while the rest fled.
However, this place is sixty or seventy miles away from the Songhua River, and how can these exhausted stragglers escape the pursuit of the cavalry on the vast Jiangbei Plain? Except for the foot soldiers and some cavalry guards and prisoners, the rest of the cavalry were sent out to chase and kill.
The Northern Expeditionary Army of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be annihilated.
And this battle, which was destined to affect the Ming Dynasty and even the countries outside the Guan, also drew a break for the time being.
ββββββ Dividing Lineββββββ
Lian Zining stood on the towering wall of Xishenwei, looking at the ragged armor of the ships coming from the north shore, like beggar-like stragglers, and his face was as gloomy as water.
Today is July 23, 51st year of Zhengde.
Since yesterday, the Northern Expeditionary Army has returned from the North Shore.
The first one to come back was Xu Pengju, who didn't even look at Xi Shenwei after crossing the river with the escaped general, and just ran all the way south and disappeared.
Then there are ships that keep coming to the shore, and soldiers who keep coming down.
Seeing this scene, Lian Zining understood without asking, the Northern Expeditionary Army must have been defeated, and these were all stragglers who fled.
Will the Northern Expeditionary Army be defeated? How could such a powerful Northern Expeditionary Army be defeated?
But facts are facts, no matter how Lian Zining can't figure it out, the situation is already like this.
Now it's time to think about, what to do?
Lian Zining had already learned the general story of the incident from the mouth of the returning deserter, and while secretly hating Xu Pengju, he also wanted to make a decision for himself - should he follow Xu Pengju to flee south? Still is......
He has basically made a decision in his heart, he will definitely not be able to escape, he knows very well the character of Emperor Zhengde, if he escapes, he will definitely die after he goes back, and no one can protect himself! The Duke of Wei has been a relative for generations, and the people between the government and the opposition are well-connected, so he may be able to escape death, but he has to be pushed out as a scapegoat.
After all, Xu Pengju went up with that fold, didn't he take responsibility?
Since there is no escape, there is only one way left, which is an either/or multiple choice question, and there is no third option.
Lian Zining took a deep look at the deserters again, and after those deserters got off the boat, they collapsed on the shore one after another, never getting up again, obviously tired and wanting to die. (.la marshmallow)
He turned around, led everyone down the city wall, and instructed Shi Dazhu: "Go to those high-ranking officers above the rank of 1,000 households among the wounded soldiers, please go to the city lord's mansion to discuss matters." β
Soon, the middle and senior officers of the wounded soldiers who stayed here arrived one after another, and there were more than 12,000 wounded soldiers left here, but there were not many senior officers, after all, they would not charge into battle in person. The thousands of subordinate households left behind were not injured, but they had always been unwilling in the army, and they were squeezed out by their colleagues and superiors, and they were thrown down to guard the wounded soldiers, preventing them from crossing the river and going north, and they did not share the credit. There are a total of three thousand senior officers, and there are more than a dozen deputy thousand households, and three thousand households, which are Zhang He of the avant-garde of the government army, Zhang Zitao of the Jinwu avant-garde, and Sun Ji of Yulin Zuowei, and the remaining deputy thousand households belong to the eight guards, and the composition is complex.
"I've seen Uncle!" Everyone came to the meeting hall of the City Lord's Mansion and knelt down and kowtowed to Lian Zining.
Lian Zining waved his hand: "Everyone, get up!" β
These officers also showed worried looks on their faces, and they also got the news from the outside that the Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated and almost wiped out, and Wei Guogong took the lead in escaping, and all the troops rushed to the wolves. After a period of incredulity in their hearts, there is only one thought - how to do it? People can run, but we have more than 10,000 wounded soldiers here! Will they all be left behind? Is this a human thing?
And they didn't suffer the tragic changes of that night, their brains are always clear, and they think clearly, even if they escape like this, how should they deal with themselves? Can you still save your life?
Lian Zining slowly glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone, everyone should know a thing or two about the news outside. Now it has been determined that the Ming Dynasty has been defeated, and the grandfather of Wei has fled south, and now I am afraid that he has arrived in the big city of Zhubang! There are many stragglers from other departments, and many of them have escaped, let's not talk about it, the top priority is, what should be done! β
Everyone listened carefully, and Lian Zining continued: "Wu Yi's army belongs to the Northern Expeditionary Army, and its current duty is to be ordered to guard Xishenwei and raise grain, grass and logistics, and you can be regarded as a member of the Xishenwei who stayed behind, so now we are grasshoppers on a rope, and no one can run!" Therefore, I will invite you all today, let's discuss, this next move, how to go, we must come up with a charter! β
After hearing this, everyone first looked at each other, what did they have in mind?
Glancing at each other, Sun Ji, the oldest and most prestigious, spoke: "My lord, we are incompetent, we can't think of any good way, do you have a good plan in your belly?" If you say it, we will all be counselors and counselors! β
"Well, that's fine!" Lian Zining nodded and said: "Speaking of which, in fact, there are only two paths, the first is to escape!" But today's temper, everyone should have heard of it, my Ming Dynasty has not raised swords for decades, this first battle is extremely important, it is to fight the evil neighbors around us, let them know that our Ming Dynasty is not easy to bully, but no one thought that this first battle, we would fight like this! And it was like this when the elite soldiers of the Jingwei border army gathered! The emperor's anger in his heart can be imagined, if we go back, one by one we will have to take off the black yarn and walk around the Jinyi Guard's prison. If it's the unlucky one, it's not impossible to let those fans toss for three or five months without being in human form and then die. β
He said it lightly, but as soon as he heard the name of Jinyiwei, these soldiers who licked blood with knives also showed a trace of fear in their expressions, the Ming Dynasty was established for more than 100 years, and Jinyiwei was notorious, from the Manchu Dynasty to the Qianshou Li Min, who is not afraid?
But they also knew that Lian Zining was telling the truth, when today's Zining was impatient and careless, if he fled back, he was afraid that the ending of everyone would not be good.
In fact, how could the generals of the Ming army who fled to the south not know this truth? But they were already frightened by the Jurchens, and they only cared about running for their lives in front of them, so where could they manage the future? Always live one more day for a day! And there is also a trace of luck in my heart, these tens of thousands of troops have fled, even Wei Guogong has fled, the law does not blame the public, the emperor can't kill everyone with one sword, right?
They don't know that Zhengde can really do this.
The officer who was already anxious shouted loudly: "Uncle, don't sell the guanzi, let's talk about the second way!" Let's go to the second one! β
"Number two!" Lian Zining smiled faintly: "That's sticking!" β
"Hold on?" The officers exclaimed in unison.
Where to hold on? How to hold on? The Jurchens are so powerful, can they hold it? What's the use of holding on?
"Just stick here, Xi Shenwei!" Lian Zining's voice was as cold and hard as a piece of forged steel: "The court has recently suffered a fiasco, the face of the emperor and the court can be said to be gone, the news spreads, and the people of the world must be in an uproar. Therefore, at this time, the emperor and the court urgently need two points, one of which is to kill the culprit of the defeat to thank the world. Second, fight a big victory and regain the face of the court, so that the court, in the eyes of the world, is still the court. β
"There are so many deserters this time, we don't have to worry about which one to kill, but this second point can't be done. The army of the country is millions, but it has its own duties, and it cannot be transferred, and the border army of the Nuergan Governor's District is greatly injured, and it is too busy to take care of itself, if the Beijing army is driven here, it is already winter, ice and snow, how to fight? Moreover, the northern expedition took a lot of money, so at least until next summer, the imperial court could not afford to organize another northern expedition. β
"Think about it, if at this time, there is a large army, guarding Xishenwei, like a nail nailed to the hinterland of the Jurchen army, so that they lose their troops and have no choice, even if they attack the city, they must always be careful about this henchman. Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, what would happen if the emperor got this news? What will the princes of the court do when they hear this news? β
Lian Zining said categorically: "It's okay to be crowned an official and a knight!" I'm afraid that everyone will be promoted to the next level! β
The snorts of many officers in the hall suddenly became heavy, who doesn't want to go further? Especially for those who are usually depressed, this kind of thinking is even more urgent.
"My lord, let me discuss it later!" Several thousands of households looked at each other a few times, and Sun Ji spoke.
Lian Zining said: "Please take care of yourself." β
More than a dozen thousand households and deputy thousand households got together to discuss about a cup of tea, and there was no lack of fierce quarrels, and after a while, they dispersed, Sun Ji said: "What the adults said is very reasonable, but my lord, if we stick to Xishenwei, can we hold it?" That Jurchen Tartar is very fierce! β
It means that you have been walking around with Wu Yijun these days, and you haven't seen the real chapter with the Jurchens, do you know how powerful the Jurchens are?
Lian Zining said in his heart, how powerful the Jurchens are, I know better than you.
He smiled: "You don't have to worry, in the face of an army of tens of thousands of Jurchens, no one dares to say that they are ten percent sure, if this official says that he will win, it will naturally be a lie!" However, the official is now at least seventy percent sure! β
"The Xishen Acropolis is tall and strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the eight guards of the Jingwei are the main force of the siege that day, so they are naturally clear about this, and there is no need for the official to say more. That's our first advantage! β
"Wu Yijun is the logistics baggage escort of the army, and now all the giant crossbows, trebuchets, etc. of the Northern Expeditionary Army are stored in Xishenwei. In addition, in the past few days, the official and celebrity have been collecting materials everywhere, which was originally intended to be used by the Northern Expedition Army, but at this time, there is no need for it. At this time, there are 300,000 stones of rice and noodles in Xishenwei, which is enough for our 20,000 troops to eat for more than a year and a half, and there is no need to worry about running out of food. There are also hundreds of fat pigs, some are slaughtered every day, and you can always see some fat and oil flowers! There are also countless forage beans. There are 500,000 crossbow arrows, hundreds of barrels of fire oil, boulders, rolling logs, etc., which can be used at will. Even if there is a handicap battle every day, it is enough to support a short period of time. This is the second advantage. β
"In addition, the name of Wu Yijun's good fighting is well known to everyone. Hehe, don't be so dismissive just yet. Lian Zining saw that some of these Jingwei warriors showed disapproving expressions on their faces, but they didn't think it was a pestle, and continued: "Although my Wuyi Army has been building for a short time, its firearms are strong, and the master of the phalanx dares to say that it is unparalleled in the world, so Wuyi Army is the biggest advantage!" β
"With these three advantages, we can keep the winning face of Xi Shenwei, and it will be above seventy!"
After Lian Zining finished speaking, he glanced at everyone and smiled coldly: "Anyway, if you go back now, you will die, stay here, there is always a glimmer of life, how to choose, you can do it yourself!" This official will not be reluctant! β
This last sentence completely shattered the last hesitation of these officers, and they all stood up in unison and said loudly: "Under the mark, only Uncle Wu Yi is the first to look forward!" β
"Good!" Lian Zining got up and said solemnly: "Since this is the case, then the official is not welcome!" β
"Dong Ce!"
"Mark it in!"
"You take people to the riverside, ask the non-commissioned officers who have escaped, and tell them that they are powerful, and if there are those who are willing to enter Xishenwei to resist, they will all be brought in, and if they don't want to, there is no need to force them. The most important thing is to collect all the ships and not let the boards drift to the north shore! β
"Yes, sir!" Dong Ce took the order and left.
Lian Zining's move is for one purpose - to delay time.
The Jurchens are not good at shipbuilding, if they want to cross the Songhua River quickly, there is only one way, which is to snatch the ships of the Ming army, and Lian Zining can collect all the ships, and they can also delay the time for the Jurchens to cross the river as much as possible, so as to win valuable preparation time for themselves.
