readx; Li Laiheng told Zhu Youzhen in detail about the encounter. www.biquge.info It turned out that those brocade guards were not only extremely arrogant, but also ruthless, and when they refused to restrain their hands, they suddenly attacked without warning.

The distance between the two sides is too close, and after all, Jinyiwei is also a member of the imperial court, and no one expected them to kill if they say they will kill, so Li Laiheng and others were caught off guard, and they really suffered a lot of losses. In order to block the knife for Sun Chuanting, Li Laiheng was also slashed in his right arm, and blood immediately burst out. These brocade guards did have two blows, and they cut down five or six Qin soldiers in an instant.

Seeing that there were casualties on his side, Li Laiheng didn't do it. He doesn't care if the other party is a tight-clothed guard and a loose guard, as long as he dares to attack the Qin soldiers, he is the enemy! He immediately shouted: "Mandarin duck array!" ”

These dozens of Qin soldiers are all Li Laiheng's elite subordinates, and they are also veterans who have experienced a hundred battles. After a brief period of panic, they quickly assembled into a simple mandarin duck formation, blocking the attack route of the Jinyi guards with shields and spears, while the short swordsmen and bird swordsmen behind waited for an opportunity to attack.

During the training in peacetime, Zhu Youzhen instilled in the Qin soldiers the concept that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of all soldiers, that is, on the battlefield, individual martial arts can only play a secondary role, and courage, tactics and discipline play a decisive role. Although these dozens of fighters may not be the opponent of Jinyi Wei when they fight alone, after they gather into a mandarin duck array, they immediately burst out with terrifying combat effectiveness.

And although those brocade guards are not weak in martial arts, they have never been on the battlefield after all, so they have never seen this kind of battle. Moreover, their weapons are just embroidered spring knives, and hand-to-hand combat is okay, but it is not easy to use it when encountering a professional army. A few of them, who were confident in their martial arts, rushed forward with a shout, and were immediately forced to stumble left and right by seven or eight spears.

The leader of the Jinyi Guards was not stupid, seeing that the momentum was not good, he knew that it was impossible to capture Sun Chuanting and Li Laiheng, so he returned to his horse and galloped away, and the rest of the Jinyi Guards also fled. But how could Li Laiheng allow them to slip away as soon as they fought, dozens of Qin soldiers got on their horses one after another, and chased after them.

Among several Qin generals, the one who was best at cavalry combat was Li Laiheng. He has both light and heavy cavalry under his command, mainly light cavalry, and the war horses are all good breed horses, and their foot strength is much faster than that of Jinyiwei's horses.

And Li Laiheng's cavalry also has a unique skill, that is, to release birds immediately. If the cavalry of the two sides fought against each other, then of course there was no time to use the bird gun; But another form of cavalry warfare, pursuit, or retreat, is also very important, so that there is plenty of time to reload the birds.

At this point, these cavalrymen used their housekeeping skills, using only their legs to control their horses, and their hands were free to reload ammunition. Look at the enemy coming into range, they light the arquebus and raise their guns to aim. This part is the most difficult, because the horse runs extremely fast, and if you are not careful, the wind will blow out the fire rope. Therefore, their arquebuses are made very short, basically they will fire as soon as they are lit, and they need to be both stable and decisive, otherwise they will hurt themselves.

"Bang bang bang!" The gunfire was loud, and the Jinyi guards dozens of steps away were shot and fell off their horses. These people all have some martial arts, and if the pursuers release arrows, they can also use their weapons to call. But how fast the projectile shot by the bird is so fast, as long as you hear the sound of gunshots, the bullet has already hit, even if you have great ability, you can't dodge, this is what Mr. Shan Tianfang often said, "It is difficult for the gods to dodge a smoke".

In an instant, more than half of the more than 30 brocade guards fell from their horses, and only more than ten horsemen were left to flee desperately. Li Laiheng's eyes were red, and he shouted wildly as he galloped: "I can't let any of them go!" ”

At this time, it depends on whose horse is good. Facts have proved that Jinyiwei's horses are all provided by horse households, the breed is poor, and the breeding is not very good, and it is okay to run short distances, but if the time is a little longer, the physical strength is obviously poor.

Qin Bing's horses were different, there were a few purebred Dawan horses that were introduced from Yili, and they ran like flying, both elegant and extremely fast. Although the other horses are crossbreeds, they are not too weak on their feet. Moreover, the cavalry training of the Qin soldiers trained both men and horses, short-distance sprints and long-distance pursuits were compulsory subjects, and sometimes Li Laiheng would even lead his troops to run for hundreds of miles in a row. At present, chasing more than a dozen inferior horses of Jinyiwei is naturally not a problem.

In less than a cup of tea, three or four more brocade guards were hit by birds and fell off their horses. The rest saw that they couldn't escape, and they knew that their lives were important, so they actually got off their horses and knelt down and begged for mercy. Only the ringleader fled, only to be shot in the left leg and fall hard.

Li Laiheng led the Qin soldiers to tie up all these surrendered Jinyi guards, and asked Sun Chuanting: "What about those who are killed?" ”

"Since they came in secret, let them go in secret!" Sun Chuanting snorted coldly.

Li Laiheng understood, dug a big pit in the field, pushed the dead corpses and half-dead Jinyi guards into the pit and buried them, and trampled on them. The rest of the brocade guards had never seen such a fierce lord, and they all trembled with fright.

Zhu Youzhen nodded after listening and said: "You guys are doing it right, Jinyiwei is also Wei Zhongxian's minion, since you have done it, you have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and you can't leak the news." Where are those captives? ”

"All of them have entered the city, Your Highness, slaughter all these bastards, and avenge the dead brothers!" Li Laiheng said with tears in his eyes.

Sun Chuanting also said: "Dongchang and Jinyiwei are tigers, and I don't know how many Zhongliang have been framed for Wei Zhongxian." If His Highness can cut off the eunuchs, these minions must not be let go. ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't say anything, thinking that the existence of Dongchang and Jinyiwei was not for no reason, and had their own reasons for existence. Throughout the dynasties, the bureaucratic system of the imperial court became more and more popular the further it went, and even the officials were not greedy. Originally, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate and other institutions also had the function of investigating and punishing officials who violated the law, but it was the so-called "officials and officials protecting each other", and they were not clean under their buttocks.

In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang jumped out of the original bureaucratic system and set up a brocade guard to monitor hundreds of officials, which was also a helpless move. Later, Jinyiwei was no longer credible, and Zhu Di set up the East Factory, which did play a role in deterring corrupt officials. To use an inappropriate analogy, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are a bit like the synthesis of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Security Bureau in the previous life.

However, the Ming emperor's mistake was to give Jinyiwei and Dongchang too much power, so that these people could not be restrained, and in the end they were more greedy than corrupt officials, Wei Zhongxian is an excellent example. If Zhu Youzhen is allowed to do it, he may ban the notorious Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but he must also set up similar institutions, otherwise where will those cunning and corrupt officials start?

Of course, these are all later words, and we still have to deal with these brocade guards first. Zhu Youzhen frowned and said: "You can't kill first, you have to interrogate them strictly to find out who is the mastermind and whether they have any other actions." Master Sun, how about you preside over the trial? ”
