Chapter 782: Triumph (I)
As he spoke, he saw the Mongol No. 100 triumphantly coming to the outside of the city, presumably the mission that had a dream of being called Gongmei.
"Go and say hello." Although Shen Mo is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, he never wants to waste time on them.
Nian Yongkang rubbed his hands and said: "Don't worry, as soon as they enter the city, they will become turtles in the urn." ”
"Take it easy, don't get killed." Shen Mo said lightly: "It's still useful." ”
"That's just going to be a little trick." Nian Yongkang smiled and said, "The brothers will treat them well." ”
Shen Mo nodded, did not speak again, his eyes turned to the southwest, there is the main battlefield this time, although he feels that the chance of victory is in his hands, but the battlefield is changing, before the moment when the results of the battle are settled, how can he not be worried?
The city walls were full of officers and soldiers who were on guard, but no one dared to make a sound, and even walked lightly, for fear of disturbing the contemplative Governor.
Until the sound of heavy footsteps sounded, without looking, Shen Mo knew that it was Hu Yong coming. Hu Yong came to his side with a smile and whispered, "My lord, after a meal, all of them are down...... To say that the vigilance of these Mongols is also a little worse. ”
"That's because they think they have nothing to fear," Shen Mo said lightly: "People are happy and there are no good things, that's the truth." As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch and saw that it was already twelve o'clock at noon, and he sighed softly and said, "I'm afraid I already know that his sons have been ambushed." "This is why Shen Mo took the risk, and he was in a hurry to exchange those prisoners back, if it was a little later, let me know that his sons were not in the army, but in the face of the king, he would not let them go.
"Hmm." Hu Yong said with concern: "Isn't Li Chengliang dangerous?" ”
"yes, he didn't come back safely." Shen Mo rubbed his brows lightly and said, "Obviously taken hostage...... I'm afraid that at this moment, the guests on the table will be imprisoned. ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't know if the silence is an uncertain prophet or a crow's mouth, I replied that I originally set up a banquet to entertain Li Chengliang, but the two of them unexpectedly fell in love and talked harmoniously about wine. Just as they were about to change their posts, a pro-soldier hurriedly came in outside, whispered a few words to me, and aimed at Li Chengliang with his eyes while talking.
Li Chengliang couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart when he saw that I was not good at answering him, but now that people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, he can only hold a wine glass and pretend to be calm.
"Didn't you say a truce? Why did my son encounter an ambush from the main force of the Ming army? "I replied that I wanted to save face, and I called him a brother just now, so I couldn't turn my face immediately, so I could only ask hatefully: "General Li, you have to give me an explanation"
"Say" The Mongolian nobles turned their faces when they heard this, pulled out their scimitars and threatened: "Otherwise, I will chop you"
"I don't know about this, but the Qinwang army from all over the country keeps coming, and we can't contact all of them. I don't know which way the immortals collided with a few Taiji......" Li Chengliang suppressed the panic in his heart and said calmly: "But why aren't a few Taiji with the Great Khan?" Nowadays, there is a shortage of soldiers, and it is very dangerous to run outside. ”
I replied that he was reasonable, and he also mocked himself in his words, 'only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps', and it is not easy to do anything to him for a while, so I can only say in a muffled voice: "My Mongolian iron cavalry is invincible in the field, you wait to steal chickens and rice" The words were not speculated for more than half a sentence, the wine banquet came to an abrupt end, and Li Chengliang was also taken down to rest...... In fact, it is to take care of it.
Li Chengliang didn't think about escaping, but with so many pairs of eyes staring outside the tent, I am afraid that if he can't run two steps, he will be arrested back, and when the time comes, he will lose all his face, and he will lose all the face of the court. For the sake of reputation, we can't do that kind of stupid thing, Li Chengliang had to give up the attempt to take the initiative to get out of trouble, and everything was left to fate.
In the tent of the black rumbling dong, there was no one to deliver food, and no one to chat with him, Li Chengliang could only sleep with his head down, and he didn't know how long he slept when he was suddenly woken up by the sound of hurried footsteps. When he looked up, the thick curtain of the door was lifted, and he couldn't help but squint when he saw the bright light outside.
Before he could react, he was hugged by someone, pressed to the ground with his hands and feet, and tied up like a rice dumpling.
"What are you doing?" Li Chengliang struggled to move, so he had to yell: "I am an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, you can't treat me like this, you have to respect me...... ......"Before he finished speaking, he was gagged with a rag.
Li Chengliang was pushed out of the tent, and before he could get used to the light outside, he felt like a tiger and a tiger on his head, and subconsciously wanted to bend down to avoid it, but he forgot to be tied up into a dumpling, how could he bend down? Then he was sturdy, his chest was tight, his ribs seemed to be broken, and he saw that he had been lassoed by the Mongols with the noose of the cattle.
'Image, my image, completely ruined ......' catastrophe is coming, Li Zongzi is worried about this, it can be seen that he is indeed extraordinary.
A Mongol warrior tied the rope of the lasso to the saddle and then, in a strange laugh, urged the horse to run. Li Chengliang was also trotted up, the war horse ran faster and faster, two legs were not as good as four legs after all, he mixed garlic under one foot, fell to the ground fiercely, like a dun cloth, was dragged out of the camp, and went straight to the west gate of Wanquan City.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This morning, the three Taiji fled back with the remnants of the defeated army. The 30,000 elite cavalry was almost wiped out, and I vomited blood and fainted on the spot, he had never suffered such a heavy blow in his life...... 30,000 elite horsemen, this is an unbearable and painful loss for the Mongolian tribe that is not prosperous
Up to now, everything is lice on the bald man's head - it is clear that he has been treated as a monkey and has kept saying that he wants to negotiate peace, but it is just to drag himself down from some unknown Qin Wangjun, it is clearly a deliberately arranged siege and annihilation war, everything is a lie, but he still believes it is true, he is really ashamed of himself, and he hates him to death
When he woke up, the first thing he did was to order someone to arrest Li Chengliang and prepare to take him to Wanquan City to be cut with thousands of knives to vent the hatred in his heart
Who knew that when he took Li Chengliang to the city, he saw that the Ming army had sent more than 100 people to the city. Behind everyone, there is a pair of knife and axe hands with open breasts and breasts...... Look at that posture, look at the ghost head knife that is clearly shaking, obviously telling me that there is a kind of you who try to move him, and there are a hundred people here who resist their lives.
My face suddenly turned purple, yesterday he silently asked him to send a mission, and he was still a beautiful errand, scrambling to go, this is good, he has become a lamb under the knife of the * people
The liar's face was distorted into a pig's kidney, his fists were clenched tightly, his body trembled slightly, and he looked like he was in pain, as if he had been bursting with chrysanthemums.
"I answer, listen......" shouted from the city: "You have our people in your hands, and we have your people in our hands, although it is one to one hundred, but the adults of my family respect the old and do not care about you...... If you want, we'll exchange, if you don't, you kill yours, and we'll kill ours. To change or not to change, give a happy word"
After Hu Yong finished shouting, he asked the silence beside him in a low voice: "My lord, will this be a bit of a scoundrel?" ”
"You have the capital," Shen Mo said coldly: "This is called domineering." He was not afraid of the other party's shame and anger, because Nian Yongkang told him that among the three leaders, one was my uncle, one was my nephew, and the other was Xue Chan of my answer, all of whom were close to him. Obviously, the Mongols regarded this trip as a beautiful mission, or how could they just cheapen their own people? This is exactly in the hands of Shen Mo, and he is afraid that he will not be able to bring any important people, and he will not be able to change the heroic and fearless classmate Xiao Li.
Seeing that the other party did not answer, Shen Mo asked people to push a tartar to the head of the city, pressed it on the arrow stack, and killed it with a knife, and his head was like a blood gourd, and he rolled down with a grunt and fell not far in front of me.
Many of the Mongols changed their faces, and they felt that it was not impossible to exchange them, and one for a hundred seemed to take advantage of it.
I couldn't even delay my position, after all, those people were captured because of his mistakes in decision-making, and if he saw them killed one by one, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among their tribe. Besides, there are a lot of hostages in people's hands, so if you kill a few at will, you can still force yourself to comply.
'If only I didn't want to save some food and keep some of the captives......,' I began to regret secretly, and said in my heart: 'In the future, you can't be too real when dealing with the people of the Central Plains.'
The matter has come to this, where to buy regret medicine? Seeing that the city was about to roll blood gourd again, I replied hurriedly and said: "Change"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
According to the agreement, Altan led his army back to the camp, leaving only a hundred-man squad to wait under the city to exchange prisoners.
With the sound of 'squeak', the city gate slowly opened a third, enough for people and horses to pass, and saw a group of Ming soldiers, pressing more than 100 Mongols who were also tied into zongzi.
The two sides stood at a distance, and without much nonsense, let go of their respective captives, and let them run to the opposite side.
Li Chengliang ran away, and those Mongolian prisoners also ran away, the speed on both sides was about the same, and they were about to meet at the end of the line, Li Chengliang suddenly rushed forward, and he was more than twice as fast as Fang A Mongolian still didn't know what was going on, so he grabbed his chest, only to feel a dizziness, and the two sides switched positions.
"......What are you doing" The fat Mongolian, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, was just about to shout to break free from him, when he felt that his back heart was pierced by a sharp weapon, and he reached out and touched it with an unbelievable face, it was his own wolf's tooth arrow.
It was clear from the city that the Mongols were unwilling to let him go like this, and they suddenly used cold arrows to kill him. To say that the Mongols' archery skills are too superb, and they shoot out in a blink of an eye, it is too late to warn them. Just when the silent heart was about to shrink into a ball, an incredible scene happened, Li Chengliang seemed to be an unpredictable prophet, and suddenly pulled a personal meat shield to block the fatal arrow.
At this distance, it must be too late to move again when he hears the sound of the bowstring, and the only explanation is that he has already guessed that the other party will come to this hand, so he can naturally move the enemy first and save the day. Later, I learned that Li Chengliang was in Tieling, and he had a lot of dealings with the Mongols, and he knew their personalities well, so he could anticipate the enemy's opportunities. Of course, that's all for later......
said that it was too late, and then it was fast, and I saw Li Chengliang running out of a few feet in an instant at a speed several times that of usual, carrying that human shield. This is the Ming army in the city began to release guns, a row of guns, shooting the hundred-man team on their backs, naturally no one has the idea of hitting Li Chengliang again.
The Ming army in the city wanted to shoot at the captives, but they were silently stopped and let them flee back in embarrassment...... According to his temperament, he killed them all, and he didn't understand Shizhou's hatred, but after all, he was a high-ranking official in the ministry and did things decently and trustworthy, otherwise he would definitely be impeached. If one day this should be the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, can it not be so dead to save face, Shen Mo felt that it was not difficult to solve any problems.
Both sides took the prisoners back to the camp and returned to the city, and Shen Mo personally greeted Li Chengliang here, only to see that the armor on his body was all tattered, and his limbs and face were full of serious abrasions.
"It's okay, you're married to a daughter-in-law anyway......" Shen Mo comforted him.
Li Chengliang originally wanted to say two bold words such as 'not dishonoring the mission', but he was deflated by this sentence, and he could only smile bitterly.
"Congratulations to General Li for making new contributions." After inspecting the corpse he had brought back, Nian Yongkang leaned over with a smile and said, "This shield you grabbed is none other than my uncle." ”
"Really?" Li Chengliang was overjoyed and said: "I just look at him tall and fat, and I think it's a good material for making a shield......"
Everyone sweated profusely, and said that it seemed that they were too fat and their lives were in danger.
Some people are happy and some people are worried, the city is full of laughter, but the outside of the city is gloomy, I replied that this time it was really back to my grandmother's house, after a fiasco, but also because of the cleverness of the people below, I folded my uncle Rabuktaiji...... Labuk's Vultures were one of the 30,000 households on the left wing, and their strength was so important that if they shot the leader of the family to death this time, the cousins would definitely hate themselves to death.
He was thinking about a lawsuit here, and Qiu Fu came over cautiously and whispered: "Great Khan, Zhao Quan doesn't seem to have been put back......
I replied that he was motionless at first, and then sighed after a while, how he would develop Hohhot in the future was all in Xue Chanzhao's mind, and he couldn't live without him now.
In desperation, I could only go out to greet him again, pointed to the city and scolded: "Phew, what about returning the book of the Ministry of Rites, I don't pay attention to faith, I said that I would exchange prisoners, why did I detain my Xue Chan Zhao?"
"Keep your mouth clean," the city replied loudly: "The tens of thousands of soldiers present can testify, we can say it clearly, release your clansmen, dare to ask which clan Zhao Quan belongs to?" ”
"This ......" I replied again, although he was known as cunning as a wolf, but compared to playing tricks, a hundred bundles together, is not a silent opponent.
"Don't be too complacent, surnamed Shen," I replied, annoyed and ashamed, and finally took out my trump card and said: "Don't forget, I have something in my hand that can kill you" He was referring to, of course, the letter.
Li Chengliang and Nian Yongkang couldn't help but worry about Shen Mo, if that letter came out public, I am afraid that no matter how much credit he has, he will not be able to protect him.
"Oh......" Shen Mo finally showed his figure, holding the arrow stack, condescending, and said in a lazy tone: "I don't know what it is, it has such power, and I ask Brother Da to give me advice." "Feelings don't mean to be scared at all.
"Okay" I replied angrily, and I was really not afraid of death took out the letter from my arms, held it high and said: "Listen, everyone, here is a letter written to me by your Ministry of Rites, in order to let Ben Khan withdraw from the army, he allowed me to send someone to pay tribute, and promised to open a border market, and there is a bright red seal in black and white" He said and sneered: "What, Lord Shen, are you still ready to deny it?" "The matter has come to this point, and it is the most important thing to bring out this evil breath to the detriment of Shen Mo, and as for the rest, it is not for Altan Khan to consider now.
"Don't want to spew blood," Shen Mo said angrily: "Who doesn't know that this official is a complete main battle faction? How can you write something that stinks for thousands of years?"
"I won't ......fight with you," I replied with a sneer, handed the envelope to Qiu Fu beside him, and said, "Read it out loud."
"Yes" Qiu Fu stepped forward energetically, took it, opened the envelope, took out the letter paper and unfolded it...... Then there was no sound.
"Read......" I replied impatiently urged.
"Read, read what?" Qiu Fu took the letter paper and looked through it, and also found the envelope, and said with a confused face: "What are you reading without words?" ”
"Fart" I replied: "Yesterday I finished reading it and put it on my body, and I didn't take it out when I went to sleep" said and took the letterhead, and was stunned when I saw it, only to see that the handwriting on the letterhead had disappeared strangely, only the place where the seal was used, there was still a blurry red left, but it was completely unclear, and it was completely wasted......
Although the sun was high, I was still terrified, he was sure that this was the letter, as for why the handwriting suddenly disappeared, could it be the power of ghosts and gods?
"Read," silently urged.
At this time, Nian Yongkang and Li Chengliang also saw that there was something wrong with the letter, so they led the officers and soldiers to coax: "If you want to read it, you can read it, twisting and pinching it is not presentable" "What is it like?" Like a big girl."
In the midst of the laughter, I was so embarrassed that I could only pour my anger on the damn letter, tear it to pieces, turn around and leave.
Fearing to be surrounded by the Ming army, I didn't dare to stay any longer, and immediately retreated after returning to the camp, Ma Fang and Yin Feng naturally led their troops to send off, ensuring that they would no longer move a single grass or tree of the Ming Dynasty.
At this point, the six-day battle of Wanquan came to an end, the battle of the Ming army with 50,000 troops, in the plain completely annihilated 30,000 enemy troops, but also broke the myth of the invincibility of the Mongolian cavalry in the field, its impact must be far-reaching-
Segmentation –
Well, perseverance......
