Chapter Seventy-Two: When You Can't Outrun the Enemy, Break Your Teammates' Legs
Seeing that the smoke of Wuju was lit, Ziren knew that most of the Mongolian Tartars had arrived, and his heart was boiling, and he said loudly: "Brothers, the Mongolian Tartars are impatient to come to die, so let's take a few pancakes for this dinner." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info and others have repelled the Tartars, and I, Ding Shouming, will naturally not treat everyone badly. ”
Immediately began to command the soldiers to prepare for battle.
The north wall of Pingyu Fort is no more than 150 steps long, and there are more than 170 battlements on the female wall, which are naturally the focus of the Mongol Tatar attack. Ziren ordered all the soldiers of the first division of the king to go to the city and be on guard behind the battlements.
Lei Zhenwei also led all the gunners to dispatch, and the Furlong machine, the captivating cannon, and the tiger squat cannon that had been placed between the battlements in various places were concealed after loading, observing the enemy situation from the lookout hole on the battlements, and waiting for Ziren's order to fire.
Li Yongfang led his 20 or so bird-screws to ambush in groups of three people in various places on the city, waiting for the Monnu to approach and concentrate fire to kill the armored officers in the enemy army. Wang ordered all the cavalry under his command to dismount and temporarily stay under the city to repair and use as a reserve, and gallop to help everywhere at any time if the war situation is unfavorable.
Ding Shoutie commanded the people to wear armor and hold weapons to wait under the city, and was responsible for helping to transport materials to treat the wounded during the battle, and could also go to the city to fight in times of crisis, while guarding more than 100 thieves who served as coolies.
After making preparations, he waited for a long time, but he didn't see the Mongol Tatars coming to attack, and the sound of guns in the direction of Shangyulin Fort didn't stop, Ziren couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
At this time, Sun Shouli, who was on guard at the south gate, ran over and said anxiously: "Brother Ding's big thing is not good, no less than 10,000 Mongolian Tatars are besieging Shangyulin Fort, my second brother is now trapped in this fort, quickly lead the troops to rescue with me." ”
Ziren frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Third Brother Sun's visit to Yulin Fort is not an important place for soldiers, and there is not much money and food to grab. Moreover, after the second brother Sun led the troops into the garrison, there were no less than 1,000 guards, and the Mongolian Tatars are now declining, and they must accompany a lot of lives if they want to break through this fort. In my opinion, these Mengtars are Xiang Zhuang Wujian who is determined to be Peigong, and the purpose is to lure me to go out of the city to rescue and take the opportunity to attack Pinglu Fort. ”
At this time, Sun Shoujing also felt that this matter was a little strange, but he still couldn't let go of his brother Chang'an's danger.
Ziren saw his thoughts at a glance and continued: "Naturally, we can't sit idly by when our colleagues are in trouble, but this Pingyu Fort is very important and cannot be lost. It would be better for Third Brother Sun to be the head of an army or stay here, let me lead my troops to explore the enemy's reality. ”
There are no less than 10,000 Mongolian Tatars outside the city, Sun Shoujing is somewhat worried, seeing that Ziren took the initiative to ask for help, he even said a few words "The future is terrifying......", and his heart added some respect to this young man who can fight and dare to fight.
Ziren then called the king and said, "Brother is working hard for you, quickly gather cavalry and follow me out of the city." Then he slowly came to the thief and said with a kind face: "I have seen the hardships of all of you carrying grain and grass and building camps along the way. If you follow me to investigate the enemy's situation today, no matter whether you win or lose, I promise to let everyone live. ”
After finishing speaking, seeing that these thieves were still suspicious, Ziren said with a smile: "I think everyone has some misunderstandings about me, Ding Shoutie will first take some food to fill their stomachs, and each person will be given two taels of silver as consolation to show my Ding Shouming's sincerity." ”
Although Ding Shoutie felt that it was somewhat inappropriate for Ziren to take these thieves into battle, he still acted according to his orders out of trust in his own general. At the same time as distributing the silver taels, Ziren began to mobilize troops to surround the thieves.
The thieves immediately understood that Ziren's lure could not be successful, and they were ready to use force, and the situation forced them to express their willingness to fight. In his heart, he wanted to use this bit of silver as a coil, and after sending out the army, he looked for an opportunity to escape.
Seeing this, the corners of Ziren's mouth raised slightly, and he ordered someone to bring some shabby mandarin duck battle jackets and blades to distribute to the thieves.
Wang Shouguan had been in contact with Ziren for a short time, and when he saw this situation, he was suspicious, so he pulled Ma Dayan beside him and asked: "Brother Ma, this person and horse have always been expensive to investigate the enemy's situation, why did the general take this group of thieves to go, and then he had to be distracted and beware." ”
When Ma Dayan heard this, he squinted his eyes and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry, General Ding's calculation is definitely not something that ordinary people can guess." After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Wang Shouguan, who was confused, in place.
Before leaving, Ziren specially summoned all the people of the cavalry division, let everyone change the long blades such as spears and horse forks, and whispered some instructions before leading the troops out of the city.
……
At this time, the two of them, Da Brain Mao and Bai Hongda, were leading the soldiers and horses of the headquarters, and they surrounded Yulin Fort. However, these two men commanded the Mongol army and were not in a hurry to attack the city, but from time to time sent a small number of men and horses to approach the city wall, and lured the defenders of the city to withdraw immediately after they were released.
After a few rounds, Sun Shouli, who was stationed in the city, also saw that the Tartars were bluffing, and the guns in the city gradually thinned out.
Seeing this, Bai Hongda looked at the side and asked, "Anda, Chang Ang asked me to wait here to besiege the Ming people's city, and told us not to attack with force, just lure the Ming people in the city to use firearms." I fried the flowers with him, and the rabbit didn't know where it went, what did you say he was hiding in the belly of the horse? ”
Seeing that Bai Hongda had no plans, Brain Mao couldn't help but feel a little more contemptuous in his heart, and just wanted to explain.
I saw Changang's henchman 'Bodu' rushing to the horse, and said with an anxious face: "Two Taiji, the general of Pingyu Fort, is planning to bring hundreds of family members to reinforcements. The minister asked me to invite the two of you to send troops together, kill the Ming generals, take advantage of the situation to take Pingyu Fort, cross the Pu River and plunder. ”
Bai Hongda suddenly realized, and immediately withdrew from the encirclement with Brain Mao, and went straight to Ziren with Bodu's troops.
Looking at Ziren's side again, after leaving the city, in addition to sending Ma Shinan to lead the troops to patrol around, he took Wang Mingqiang, Nahai, Tang Yaoshun and others to take care of the thieves who were coerced into battle, and this way was unhurried.
After walking less than ten miles to the north, I saw Ma Shinan leading people back, and said anxiously: "The general is really as you expected, the Mongolian Tatars have already set up an ambush, but fortunately, the surrounding terrain is flat and can be seen through by us at a glance." ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw a large force of cavalry coming from the north, east, and west.
Seeing the black and oppressive enemy cavalry approaching, the thieves instantly panicked, and looked back behind them from time to time, seeing that this posture was to slip away at any time.
Seeing the Tartars coming around, Ziren said loudly, "Brothers, do it! ”
Hearing the order, everyone immediately raised the blade in their hands and stabbed the thief next to him in the ankles, knees, thighs, etc. The thief was defenseless at this time, and the screams rang out for a while.
After the first blow was successful, Ziren immediately led his troops to Pingyu Fort. Leaving these thieves with wounds on their feet, they faced the swarming Mongol cavalry alone.
At this time, a smile appeared on Ziren's face, thinking that this was called: "When you can't outrun the enemy, break your teammate's legs." ”
