Chapter 68: Willing to Die with the General
"E-niang... E-niang... E-niang..."
The remaining consciousness muttered softly to the mother who loved him the most, the tears in the corners of his eyes slowly fell, and the young face turned pale from excessive blood loss.
Under the body, the Ming general, who was covered in iron armor, looked at him contemptuously, trying to struggle to show his unyielding and angry, but his body seemed to be spasmodic, his hands and feet were constantly twitching, and the hands and feet seemed to be no longer his own, no matter how hard he tried, he didn't move.
The spear in his chest slammed into the lobes of his lungs, causing bubbles to flow out of his throat, and blood to form blisters on the sides of his mouth.
Under the direct rays of the bright sun, the blood bubbles instantly became brilliant and colorful, like a rainbow in the sky after a rainstorm.
The Jinzhou city wall in the distance suddenly became very huge, so big that it seemed that the sky and the earth were connected to it, black and oppressive, and as terrible as a dark cloud covering the top.
"Grandma's."
After whispering a foul word from a dog, Donoi's mouth chuckled strangely, and the smile stopped forever on his young face.
Maybe before he died, he saw his mother, or perhaps, he saw that he was leading troops into the palace of the Ming Emperor.
………
Seeing that Cao Bianjiao was still holding the four corpses of Jiannu, Shi Dayong took a few heavy breaths before he called softly: "Xiao Cao, throw it down." ”
"Oh, good!"
Hearing the sound, Cao Bianjiao casually threw the spear to the ground, and the four corpses of Jiannu strung together fell heavily to the ground together, and what was strange was that the posture of these four people was kneeling. One by one, their heads drooped, and their knees knelt on top of the dirt at a ninety-degree angle.
Didn't fall, just knelt like that, kneeling lifelessly, motionless, towards the south.
In the distance, there were more than 100 Jiannu cavalry fleeing north, and they were whipping their horses fiercely, lest the iron-armored monsters of the Ming army behind them would catch up.
However, there were no pursuers behind him, the wolf cavalry was exhausted, and this charge exhausted the physical strength of the war horse, and it was impossible to chase those deserters anymore.
The results of the battle were undoubtedly huge, and at a cursory glance, at least more than 300 Jiannu were crushed into pulp, but the wolf cavalry did not suffer any casualties.
The results of the first battle made Shi Dayong a little excited, and sure enough, the heavy armored cavalry was the nemesis of the Eight Banners Cavalry.
But the excitement and excitement were only momentary, and after the excitement, he was a little sad.
The hundreds of Liaodong cavalry who died on the way to the charge cut his heart like a knife.
The death of Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong made him re-examine the Liaodong soldiers, perhaps, they are really the most daring warriors of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as the generals dare to fight, these soldiers who are not afraid of death are the mainstay of my Ming Dynasty!
………
In the northeast, the Jin soldiers who were fleeing wildly suddenly reined in their horses and looked ahead in horror.
Ahead, two thousand red-armored tooth guards rushed towards Jinzhou City.
Azig, who witnessed the defeat of Donoy, was furious, and he wanted to raise a banner and tear the heavy cavalry of the Ming army to pieces
"General, Jiannu is coming up again!"
The soldier who was the first to find that the Jin army had killed again shouted, and when he looked at his shout, he saw a cloud of dust rising from the northeast, as if thousands of troops and horses were killing under the city of Jinzhou.
Jin Jiang knew that I was exhausted.
Shi Dayong sighed lightly, raised his hand and shouted left and right: "Let's all gather together, Jiannu is here with a banner of soldiers, we have exhausted our strength, even if we want to live, we can't live, in this case, we will die with our brothers." ”
"General, it's too late to retreat!"
Jiang Wanli, who had escaped death, led the remnants of more than 60 light horsemen to surround him. Seeing the red flag pouring out, he subconsciously persuaded Shi Dayong to withdraw quickly.
Shi Dayong shook his head and said expressionlessly: "In this battle, there is advance and no retreat, there is death and no life, and when I left the city, I didn't think about going back." Pointing to the city gate behind him, he smiled bitterly and said, "Besides, at this time, do you think the city gate will be opened for us?" ”
It was impossible to retreat into the city. They were not the target of the Jin Army, the target of the Jin Army was Jinzhou. At this time, they retreated to the city, and Mo said that Wu Xiang and Liu Zeqing in the city would not risk opening the city gate to welcome them back to the city, and even the Jin army would not let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the Jin army is allowed to follow into the city, the consequences will be serious.
Shi Dayong didn't want to be a sinner who buried Jinzhou, and now, what he can do is to lead the wolf cavalry army that can no longer fight to stage a tragic song of the annihilation of the whole army under the city of Jinzhou.
But hopefully, his death can awaken the blood of the defenders.
I hope I can die a well-deserved death.
Chongzhen, I Shi Dayong has done my best for you! Die for you, I will be brave and not complain!
…………
"The brothers fought this battle with great joy, and now that they are dead, there is no regret." Cao Bianjiao's dictionary has never had the word retreat, buried his head and led a team of wolf riders to gather around Shi Dayong, looking into the distance with resolute eyes, there was no fear in his eyes, on the contrary, it was expectation.
Jiang Wanli nodded silently, looked back at the more than sixty Liaodong cavalry and said: "You have done your best, you don't have to wait for death here, while Jiannu has not yet surrounded you, you can flee for your life." If you can escape, please tell me the Songshan soldiers, and ask them to work hard again and transport the general's bones back to Changping's hometown for burial. I'll bury myself in Matsuyama. ”
Hearing this, none of the more than sixty light horsemen rode away, but looked at Jiang Wanli silently.
After a moment, a voice sounded: "When the ancestor commander transferred us to General Shi's command, General Shi told us that he could not guarantee us anything else, but he could guarantee one thing - if we died, he would also send our corpses back to our hometown and to our relatives." Now I just want to ask General Shi one more time, if we die today, will our bones still be returned to our relatives? ”
"Don't worry, even if I die, my fellow Songshan will definitely fulfill my oath!" Shi Dayong took off his mask and nodded firmly, he swore to do it. Even if he died in battle, he believed that Huang An and Shao Wu would definitely inherit the spirit of Songshan.
"Well, I'll die with the general!" The cavalryman who asked smiled miserably, turned to his companions and said: "Mr. Xia Qian and Mr. Li Qian are all loyal to the country, so many brothers have also died, and the remaining dozens of us have escaped for their lives, and we will not be able to see the brothers under Jiuquan in the future." Since we have someone to take care of the affairs behind us, let's all die here in battle, there is nothing to regret. ”
"Brother Zhao, don't you think we are afraid of death?" A Liao soldier who was hit by an arrow in his left leg and barely stood on his horse laughed, and raised the three-eyed gun in his hand: "My whole family was slaughtered by Jiannu, and I joined the army to avenge my father and sister, today General Shi can lead our brothers and Jiannu to fight to the end, and Lao Tzu's life will be worth it!" Brothers, don't say anything, just say a word, and die with the general! ”
"I want to die with the general!"
More than 60 cavalry cavalry from the bottom of their hearts roared, not a single one flinched, and none hesitated.
"I want to die with the general!"
The shouts of the two hundred wolf cavalry behind the iron helmets were equally earth-shattering.
The voice spread far away to the city of Jinzhou, and the listeners were all moved, and the primordial blood burned in their chests.
