Chapter 38 Murder by the Sword
When Ziren heard this, he looked at the Mongolian Tatars who were retreating in embarrassment on the other side of the river, and said calmly: "What are you panicking, there is no bridge on the Pu River for the Tatars to pass, and even if a small group of Tatars force their way over from the shallow water, they are definitely not our opponents." The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info and most of the Tartars on the other side were repulsed, and the remaining Tartars still had a few fighting spirits. ”
Speaking of this, Ziren seemed to remember something, frowned, and continued: "Mr. Li, in the future in the barracks, you and I will still be known as an official. ”
"The general taught me a lesson." The general, named Li Zhenggong, was also clever, and after changing his words, he said: "According to the report of the Tanma, the Tartars upstream are indeed as the general expected, and there are only 100 people crossing the river, and they are hesitating on the shore at this time. Downstream, the Tartars found a lot of planks out of nowhere and put them on the piers of the bridge where the slabs had been removed. Now there are more than 500 horsemen crossing the river, and they are still assembling, and they hope that Ding Junmen will be on guard as soon as possible. ”
"It's good to come!" Ziren shouted.
Then he called Sun Guangzu, the general who commanded Sun Shoujing and the generals of the headquarters, and ordered loudly.
"Sun Guangzu and Lei Zhenwei listened to the order, and ordered you two to lead the Shenyang Guards and the Firearms Division to stay here, and once the upstream Tartars attacked, they could be blasted back with artillery. Tartars are only a few riders, can you have confidence? ”
Ziren stayed here with no less than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and artillery to rely on, Sun Guangzu said confidently: "Lei General Firearms Division is brave, and with his help, we will definitely be able to win." ”
Although the two were of the same level, Sun Guangzu had just seen the power of the Firearms Division, and his tone was full of admiration.
"I'm afraid that they won't come with such a little Tartar, otherwise I will let my old thunder cannon bombard, and ensure that there is not even any scum left." Lei Zhenwei saw the pole and said with a laugh.
"Dad, it's not okay to smash it, but the head of the Tartar still needs to be kept for use." Lei Tietan stood up and said half-jokingly.
"Less poor mouth!" Ziren replied with a smile, and then turned back to the topic: "Wang Mingqiang and Cao Xiyuan led the cavalry of the headquarters to follow me downstream to lure the enemy." Speaking of this, he coldly glanced at Cao Xiyuan, who was at a loss, and continued: "Li Zhenggong, Zhou Daqi, and Wang Shouguan led the troops to set up an ambush in Xiangqiu Mountain. ”
"Obey General Ding's orders!" Li Zhenggong, as Li Rumei's confidant, knew the relationship between Ziren and the Li family, and immediately replied loudly.
"Order!" Wang Mingqiang, Zhou Daqi, and Wang Shouguan saw the blood of the Tartars on the other side, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the three of them shouted categorically.
Only Cao Xiyuan hesitated, and said hesitantly: "General Ding, I have lost all the horses in my hand, this is a matter of luring the enemy......"
"That's easy to say." Ziren didn't wait for Cao Xiyuan to finish speaking, so he interrupted him, "Someone! Bring a few good horses to Commander Cao and his men. ”
Wang Ming immediately led thirty-four "good horses", and the rest of Cao Xiyuan had exactly one each.
When Cao Xiyuan saw these horses, tears were about to fall.
Except for a few that can barely be called dismounted, the rest are the most inferior "foals", and a few of them don't look bigger than donkeys.
Cao Xiyuan knew that Ziren wanted to borrow a knife to kill people, and just wanted to argue, but Ziren grabbed his words: "Life is hard, in my Ming army, what should be the crime of those who are cowardly and do not obey orders in battle." ”
"This crime deserves to be punished!" Wang Ming raised the saber in his hand as he spoke, and Ziren's subordinates also raised their blades one after another, staring at Cao Xiyuan and his party with fierce eyes.
Seeing the killing intent in the eyes of Ziren's subordinates, the surnamed Cao knew that if he opened his mouth to shirk at this time, he would die here immediately, and the only way to go into battle was to go into battle, maybe there was still a way to live.
At this time, he saw Ziren looking Cao Xiyuan up and down, and said: "This battle is dangerous, someone will bring some iron armor to protect General Cao." ”
Cao Xiyuan was stunned for a moment, looking at the iron armor handed over by Ziren's subordinates, although it was slightly damaged, it was still thick after repair, and it was suitable for self-defense.
"Ding Shouming, this kid has a kind heart?" muttered a word, and led his men to put on armor and mount the horse.
Seeing this, Sun Guangzu leaned over to Lei Zhenwei's side, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Lei, what is General Ding's calculation for this?" ”
Lei Zhenwei was also confused by Ziren's actions, thought for a moment, and pretended to be calm and said: "Brother Sun, you just remember one thing, if you offend my general, there will be no good fruit to eat." ”
At this time, the Changang Sho Department, which was crossing the river downstream, erected a wooden plank bridge. However, the wooden planks were not fixed on the piers, and they kept shaking when crossing the river, so for safety, the cavalry of the Duoyan tribe had to dismount and lead their mounts to slowly cross the bridge, resulting in a slow crossing of the river.
Seeing that the brain hair department was defeated and retreated, Changang's desire for revenge was not reduced, and he did not prevent the Ming people from attacking halfway, so he specially sent a team of sentry horses to monitor the Ming army outside the vehicle array.
Seeing that more and more subordinates crossed the river, Chang Ang began to think about how to kill this group of Ming people, take their blades, and make up for the loss with armor. At this time, the sentinel came to report: "There are Ming cavalry coming to attack." ”
Changang looked from a distance, and more than 100 Ming cavalry slowly gathered over, and after forcing the sentry cavalry back, they stopped about a mile away from him. It is also strange to say that there are not many people in the Ming army, but they are divided into two teams, left and right. The group on the left numbered no more than thirty horsemen, and most of the horses were thin and small.
The Mongol Tartars saw that the enemy army was so untidy, and at the same time they were disdainful and angry. They could clearly recognize that many of the armor in the pair of Ming troops on the left were worn by the warriors who died during the siege, but they didn't expect these Ming people to wear them out with a little repair.
The Tartars' eyes instantly sparked, and they all asked Chang Ang to fight, vowing to cut down this group of wanton Ming people with swords and swords, and kill them all.
The Ming army is only a hundred horsemen, and Changang will never take this point of men and horses in his eyes on weekdays. But after the battle under Pingyu Fort, he felt that this Ming army was by no means idle, and sent Ying Ke to lead 300 cavalry to attack, and slaughtered all this Ming army with the momentum of moving mountains and seas.
Watching the Mongolian cavalry rushing over, Ziren gave Wang Mingjian and the others a look, and then looked at Cao Xiyuan, who was sweating profusely, and said: "General Cao's Tartar is powerful, you and I will say goodbye, you ask for more blessings!" With that, he led his subordinates to turn around and leave.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Cao Xiyuan thought that Ziren was going to force himself to stop the enemy, but when he saw that Ziren led his troops to withdraw, he was not polite, and immediately led his troops to flee in the opposite direction.
Ying Ke was willing to let it go, and his anger made him abandon Ziren and ignore it, and led his soldiers and horses to bite Cao Xiyuan and his party.
Cao Xiyuan's group of horses were already thin, and Ziren was afraid that he would not die, so he put on an extra set of heavy armor for them, which increased the burden on the horses, and they were caught up by Ying Ke and his party after running not far away.
Seeing his subordinates constantly falling off their horses with arrows, Cao Xiyuan, who knew that he couldn't escape, still wanted to turn over and fight to the death. As soon as he turned around, a sharp arrow shot through his throat with the sound of the wind. Commander Cao's hands swung weakly a few times, and he fell off the horse.
At this time, Ziren suddenly led his troops around behind the Tartars, held the three-eyed gun high, and shouted: "Release!" ”
