Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Wise Tartar Army
Li Xin suddenly found that there was a change in the infantry armor of the Tartar formation, and the armor soldiers on the rear wing were regrouping. He woke up suddenly, and hurriedly summoned the heralds.
"Quickly send an order to Lu Jiu, the cavalry of the left team to protect the people, and there must be no delay. Inform Zeng Dare to immediately suspend operations and retreat immediately. ”
Of course, the Tartars would not watch Li Xin rescue all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and since they were unable to restore their control, they actually resorted to the most vicious tricks, preparing to massacre these Ming people. The captives replied to tens of thousands of people, and the long procession stretched along the Pigpen River to the north and south, and there was almost no end in sight, and how could they dare to be able to contact them in a short time, and the people who were a little farther away only knew that there was chaos ahead, and they were terrified. When the Tartar suddenly appeared like a fierce god and waved a butcher's knife to cut people when he saw them, he woke up and scrambled to flee for his life.
But it was too late, and how could they outrun the battle-hardened Tartars. In a moment, the Tartar armor soldiers cut down a piece of the Ming people like cutting leeks. Li Xin looked at it from afar, but he couldn't reach it. There are too many people, and Lu Jiu's left cavalry team can only protect the people on the left, and it is difficult to take care of each other no matter how far they go.
Immediately he became nervous again, and the people forgot what to do with the two two tartars. But those two Tartars didn't forget that they might lose their heads at any time.
"General, there are not many real Tartars in front, they are all two or two Tartars like us, what do you always want to know, as long as the villain knows everything."
One of the two Tartars began to flatter, or they wanted to accept the name, and wanted the Ming army commander to spare himself, so he had to prove that leaving his life was more valuable than a dead Ertar. Kong Youde was eager to kick these two fools to death with one person and one kick at this time. Li Xin's eyes had been attracted by the Tartars, but these two people seemed to be afraid that Li Xin would forget them, and would take the initiative to provoke him, and they didn't have to be so anxious if they wanted to die.
In contrast, Kong Youde is more worried about his fate, his identity has been exposed in public, and saving his life has become the top priority. Li Xinzhi will not kill him, otherwise he will not stay until now, it is Lu Jiu, the officer of the left team, who has to be guarded against, and the scholar named Zeng Kang, especially the scholar, who is the most demagogic. If the rioters are agitated, they may be more than lucky.
Kong Youde looked at Li Xin with a weak heart, his eyes swept behind him, and he saw two soldiers inseparable, one of whom was still holding a seemingly heavy hemp cloth bag on his horse. Immediately counted in his heart, and then his heart was determined, and when he had to say that he had to find some ideas in that master.
But those two fools are so flattering, so who is Li Xin, how can he be gullible?
I saw Li Xin say coldly, "If the two of you are not captured alive, I'm afraid you should be like them and slaughter my Ming people, right?" ”
"This ......"
"The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare!"
Zhang Shi couldn't help but scolded: "All the fucking little pretending to be confused, which of you two Tartars doesn't have the blood of my Ming people on his hands?" At this point, he took a deep breath and tried to calm his feelings.
"Do you want to live?"
Li Xin asked expressionlessly. The two of them said yes again and again, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing like pounding garlic.
"Very well, if you want to live, you have to atone for your sins." Li Xin said this, looked up and forgot the movement of the Tartar in front of him. Most of the armor soldiers were lined up, and several squads repeatedly rushed to kill among the people, and the white snow was already drenched red, and it was shocking to see from a distance.
"I'll ask you one more question, and you must answer it truthfully, otherwise I will cut you two without saying a word."
"General, please ask, the little one must be true!"
"Over the years, how many lives have you carried on my Ming soldiers and civilians?"
……
The two Ertars were stunned on the spot, thinking that he would ask some questions about military intelligence, but this was what Cheng wanted to ask. The two of them replied no, and neither did they answer. If there is no life in his hands, then he is a liar, and if he doesn't get it, he will be slashed again if he angers the commander of the Ming army. But if you tell the truth, over the years, the mountains of corpses have rolled over the sea of blood, who doesn't have dozens of lives in their hands?
Li Xin didn't want to wait for them to answer, and continued: "Let's count the two of you each with a hundred lives of my Ming soldiers and civilians. ”
The two of them were dumbfounded, neither dared to admit it, nor dared to deny it, even if there were really dozens of lives, it would not be enough for a hundred, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Ming army? Kong Youde also wondered, what tricks Li Xin was going to play, this person was not smiling, and he didn't look like a person who would make fun of people casually, not to mention that he was a big enemy, just at the moment of random speculation, Li Xin continued:
"As long as the two of you persuade the two of you to surrender two hundred from the Tartar armor soldiers on the opposite side, I, Li Xin, dare to use the head of the item to vouch, and your previous sins will be written off, and I will also ensure that you will be added to the rank and rank in my Li Xin's ranks. How is it? ”
This remark stunned everyone present, not only Kong Youde, but also Zhang Shi, felt that Li Xin's mention was very unreliable.
"The villain is just a small armor soldier, how can they listen to the villain?" One of them begged for mercy.
Li Xin sneered: "You are a dignified leader of the Han army, how can the words you say have no weight?" ”
"This ...... You ......"
The two Tartars stammered for a long time without saying a word, and Li Xin sneered again.
"You want to say, how did I know that you were the leader of the Han Army? It's the boots that betrayed you. Li Xin pointed to the Tartar's leg, "Although you are wearing an armored military uniform, boots can only be worn by a leader." In fact, this is also thanks to Li Xin's fact that he lived in the Qing army camp for a period of time, and Lu Jiu also personally showed him the military uniform of the Han army's flag leader, including boots that were different from ordinary soldiers.
After that, Li Xin turned around and glanced at Kong Youde meaningfully, which made Kong Youde's neck shrink in fright.
Li Xin no longer paid attention to the two Ertars who were stunned and thought that a catastrophe was coming, but ordered someone to find a few planks from a nearby cart full of goods, and a few craftsmen who could carpenter from among the people, and made some requests, and a few carpenters made a few strange things in a moment's effort.
The object is tight at one end and divergent at the other, gradually expanding.
This is actually a simple megaphone made by Li Xin in imitation of a loudspeaker, and several simple megaphones were thrown in front of the two two Tartars.
"The two of you stand up one by one, the big end is facing the battlefield, and the narrow end is facing the mouth, I say a word, you have to shout a word, understand?"
Li Xin was right, that person was indeed the leader of the Han army, and he had been pretending to be stupid and hoping to get by, who would have thought that he would be recognized by the main general of the Ming army at a glance, and he didn't dare to play tricks anymore, so he had to obediently lift the strange thing on the ground.
"Listen to the Han army banner brothers on the other side, Sun Ge Lao burned the Qing army camp outside Gaoyang City last night, Dolgon burned to death in the camp, Gongshun Wang Kong Youde was captured, shout!"
Saying the last shout, Li Xin accentuated his tone, and the two Ertars involuntarily shuddered, and followed the retelling.
"Didn't you eat, let go of the shouting, who shouted quietly, I cut his tongue."
Li Xin's words really worked, and the gong-like voices of the two Ertars echoed over the entire Pigpen River Valley. Li Xin kicked a megaphone in front of Kong Youde again.
"Brother Kong, let's cooperate too!"
Kong Youde didn't talk nonsense at all, leaned over and picked up the megaphone, grinned at Li Xin, and said, "General Li, how should I shout?" At this moment, Kong Youde's title to Li Xin was changed to a general. Li Xin's behavior is by no means something that a horse thief can do, since he has raised the banner of the Ming court, his ambition must not be low, and it is not appropriate to call him the leader again.
"Brother Kong is so resourceful, do you still use me Li Xin to make noise?"
Kong Youde smiled and shouted at the strange thing.
"I'm Kong Youde, I'm Kong Youde! What Ma Zuoling said is right, Dolgon was burned to death in the camp, and I, Kong Youde, was also a prisoner of General Li Xin, and the Ming court army has gone south, and there are only two ways in front of you, one is to surrender, and the other is to get out of here! Late is a dead end! ”
The snow suddenly stopped, and the sky was shining with a red sun.
The officers above the banner of the Han army knew Kong Youde more or less, and the distance between the two sides was less than two hundred steps.
After shouting several times, there seemed to be a small commotion in the Tartar team, and I don't know if Li Xin's heart-attacking strategy worked, but the Tartar squads that slaughtered the people of the Ming Dynasty had stopped killing and gathered together in a chaotic manner.
Seeing such a situation, Li Xin could almost confirm that there were two Tartars on the other side, and the morale and discipline of these people were far from the real Tartars, otherwise the Ming official army led by Lu Xiangsheng would not have been defeated too unjustly!
It may be too appalling to falsely claim that Dorgon died in the burning of the camp, but it is also an indisputable fact that Kong Youde was captured alive as a king of Gongshun. There are many people who know Kong Youde in the Han army banner, as long as one person stands up to confirm it, it will inevitably shake the military heart of the Tartar armor soldiers. At this time, the power of taking Kong Youde out of the coming array and appearing is no less than a Hongyi cannon.
Kong Youde was exquisite, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all about being captured, and he let go of his voice and shouted endlessly. The two two Tartars looked at each other, and they no longer needed Li Xin's supervision, and they also rushed to shout.
Li Xin no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered the flag bearers: "The right team of muskets advances!" ”
Before the words fell, the flag changed, and the entire right team slowly moved under the orders of the sentinels, shouting the trumpet with "drink" in their mouths, and the group of horses tied to the stake was gradually left behind. The musketeers marched in formation, and they practiced a lot when they were in Gaoyang City before, but they always couldn't walk more than a hundred steps, and the three horizontal rows would be mixed into a row, and this time was no exception.
But in any case, the sudden advance of the right musket team caused a certain commotion in the formation of the Tartar army.
Li Xinmo counted his steps and followed.
