Chapter 1274: A Lone Hero
Yongtong Bridge, in charge here is a deputy commander and a household servant, the latter jumped to his feet in a hurry, pulled the deputy commander and shouted: "Hurry up and stop them!" β
The deputy commander was angry and shook off the household servant, and roared: "You first let the people stop running around!" How can I fight a war in a mess?! β
The household servant smiled bitterly: "It won't affect your ...... of fighting" It turned out that at this time, the common people had already run away, and only those officers and soldiers were left near the Yongtong Bridge. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hurry up and resist me!" The deputy commander brandished his sword and told his officers and soldiers to hurry up to meet the enemy, but he himself rode on his horse and did not move.
Xu Huaiqing's cavalry had already rushed to the front, and the officers and soldiers had barely finished arranging, and they were killed and wounded by Wang Xianjun's muskets, bows and arrows!
The musket bow and arrow opened the way, Xu Huaiqing held the Xuanhua big axe high, and went straight into the enemy formation, the big axe flew over, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers were in different places! The generals under his command also took the lead one by one, leading their cavalry to charge and fight fiercely at the officers and soldiers! The five thousand cavalry were unstoppable, and the officers and soldiers who killed them cried and shouted for their mothers, and the formation was cut off in a blink of an eye!
The deputy commanded on the bridge, but the clothes and armor he wore were distinct, which was really eye-catching. After Xu Huaiqing broke through the enemy formation, he went straight to him and killed!
The deputy commander was so frightened that he hurriedly called his own soldiers to stop the enemy general, but Xu Huaiqing was too brave, and the officers and soldiers of the army had no enemy who had a big axe!
The deputy commander saw that his own soldiers were killed, and the enemy general rushed to his front, how could he not recognize it, it was now the first brave general of the Ming Dynasty - Xu Huaiqing, the axe of the open sky!
The moment he recognized Xu Huaiqing, the last trace of courage of the deputy commander disappeared completely, it was a peerless fierce man who could kill the commander of Duoyan in Darhan! How dare the deputy commander repeat the mistake of Darhan, he turned his horse's head, fled from the bridge, and fled straight to the west!
Seeing that the main general actually escaped from the battle, the household servant scolded angrily, and then quickly ran away......
Xu Huaiqing crossed the bridge on his horse, glanced contemptuously, and the two who fled surrounded by his own soldiers turned back to pay attention to the battle situation.
It is not surprising that the officers and soldiers of the official army were already killed and did not possess their bodies, and when they saw the main general escape, there was still a trace of fighting spirit at this time, and they also dropped their blades and fled in all directions!
Wang Xianjun's cavalry took advantage of the situation to pursue, and just killed Erli, but when they heard the main general of the bridge, Ming Jin, they had to turn back and let the enemy flee.
On the bridge, Xu Huaiqing looked at the grain and straw materials in his eyes, and said coldly: "Burn them all!" β
The generals were in pain, but they could only do so, and they took their soldiers together to gather the grain trucks. Then, the torches were lit and thrown up, and the weather was dry and full of flammable grain, and the fire broke out.
Zhang Dahai stretched out his tongue and licked his chapped lips, and said regretfully: "If you bring this grain back, your grandfather will definitely be very happy...... "Since the expedition to Mongolia, Wang Xian's army has been in a state of food shortage, and it is really a tyrannical thing to see so much white grain being burned.
Xu Huaiqing looked at the officers and soldiers galloping in the distance, glanced at Zhang Dahai, and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and transfer!" β
Zhang Dahai shrunk his neck, inhaled the burnt smell of food in the air, and waved his hand violently: "Go!" β
Yongtong Bridge is only eight miles away from Tongzhou, and the deputy commander and the household servant ran back in one breath.
The two knelt in front of Yang Rong and Li Xian in embarrassment, and reported the attack in a trembling voice.
"Ahh Li Xian was shocked, turned his head to look at Yang Rong and said, "Didn't you say that there are only small troops?" β
Yang Rong's face sank like water, and the household servant hurriedly replied: "The enemy army does not have many soldiers and horses, only 5,000 cavalry. β
When the deputy commander heard this, he was going to pit himself to death, and hurriedly said: "But they are the elite of Wang Xian's elite, the assault battalion led by Xu Huaiqing!" Even the Doyan and the Tatars were killed by them......"
Yang Rong glanced at the deputy commander who was desperately exaggerating in order to alleviate his guilt. At this time, I saw billowing black smoke rising from the east! Yang Rongdeng's heart was like a knife, and he slammed his fist on the arrow stack, "How many people's fat and people's ointment, actually burned!" β
"Ahh Only then did Li Xian understand that the black smoke was the food that had been burned, and hurriedly asked the two, "How much grain do you need?" β
"Most of the grain shipped from Tongzhou is blocked there...... "The Tobe waiter whispered, "At least more than 100,000 stones......"
"So much?!" Li Xian was also so shocked that he had to bear a lot of responsibility for such a big loss. Hurriedly looked at Yang Rong and said, "Elder Ge, hurry up and suspend the shipment!" We have to kill those 5,000 cavalry first! β
"Can't stop!" Yang Rong's face was extremely ugly and said: "That is in the hands of the enemy!" Yang Rong knew very well that Wang Xian's purpose was to make him unbearable and stop transporting grain. But Yang Rong knew better that he would never stop, once Wang Xian's army arrived in Tongzhou and cut off the passage between the capital and Tongzhou, Tongzhou City would not be able to transport a grain of grain to Beijing!
As he spoke, Yang Rong took a deep look at the two people kneeling on the ground, and the deputy commander was not enough, and the household servant was his protΓ©gΓ©. But at this time, he couldn't care so much, Yang Rong sighed, pulled out the sword of the Son of Heaven, and pointed at the two of them: "You have all made a military order, people are in the food, and the food is lost and people are dead!" How can you still have the face to come back alive?! β
When the two of them landed, the souls of the dead were rising, and the deputy commander kowtowed desperately like pounding garlic, "The old man spares his life, the old man spares his life......"
The tobe waiter was better, but he said in tears: "I can't live with the teacher, the teacher will give me another chance to make meritorious contributions......
"There's no chance...... Yang Rong sighed, raised his head and said, "I'll give you a chance, who will give Daming a chance?!" As he spoke, he waved his hand and said, "Behead them for public use, as an example!" β
The sergeants pounced, pressed the shoulders of the two and dragged them out, and the two of them cried and struggled, "Spare your life, old ...... pavilion" "Teacher, spare your life......"
Hearing the disciple's heartbreaking wail, Yang Rong's eyes were filled with tears, and he couldn't help but shudder when he heard two screams. Without looking at the head presented by the sergeant, he waved his hand and said: "Take it, show it to the officers and soldiers who escort it, and if there are any more people who have lost their grain and grass and escaped from the battle, don't bother the officers to do it!" β
The soldiers responded and went to the city, Li Xian on the side had a colorless face, but he didn't expect that Yang Ge Lao, who had been gentle and elegant for most of his life and had never even killed a chicken, actually broke out at a critical moment with a more ferocious murderous aura than those generals who were accustomed to blood!
Yang Ge Lao killed people and passed on the whole line, so that all the soldiers completely lost the last trace of luck, and had to take out 120,000 points of caution and 120,000 points of courage to protect the team transporting grain.
However, Xu Huaiqing's cavalry was so powerful that it was elusive on the transportation line for dozens of miles, and it was always possible to find the weak link of the escort officers and soldiers, so he took a bite hard, and the people who were transporting it were scattered in a hurry! Xu Huaiqing took advantage of the chaos to lead the army into the enemy formation, set fire and fled, not giving the main force of the official army a chance to surround them...... Again and again, tried and tested!
The officers and soldiers also wanted to send cavalry to deal with the cavalry, not expecting to destroy the enemy, or at least drive them away. However, the same cavalry, the level is worlds apart, Xu Huaiqing's cavalry, with the official cavalry around the plain a few circles, left them far behind. When the cavalry of the officers and soldiers finally ran back, they saw that their infantry had been ravaged, and the grain carts were blazing......
In desperation, the officers and soldiers had no choice but to stop and use grain carts to form a chariot formation to resist the invading cavalry. Now the situation is really much better, there are heavy grain trucks connected end to end, Xu Huaiqing can no longer break through the positions of the official army at will! Relying on the cover of the car formation, the chances of surviving under the rain of arrows and bullets have greatly increased! The officers and soldiers could even rely on the car formation to shoot back at Xu Huaiqing and them!
Xu Huaiqing tried to break through several times, but all of them were in vain, so he could only attack the grain truck with rockets from afar, which naturally had little effect...... Zhang Dahai and the others had a straight beard, and they scolded: "An army of 100,000 people, but shrunk like Wang Ba, is it a shame?!" β
The officers and soldiers don't care about shame, they can save their lives by keeping food, and as for face, whoever likes it wants to go!
Xu Huaiqing was not angry but happy, and laughed: "The turtle with a shrunken head is very good!" Let's go around, whoever dares to stretch out the **** will blow it up! β
Sure enough, Yang Rong of Tongzhou City almost didn't get angry when he heard the news! The teams transporting grain are all cowering on the road, who is transporting grain to the capital?!
Soon, the entire official road to the capital was blocked, and more teams couldn't get out of the city at all, and the grain trucks were already jammed with the entire Tongzhou!
"Elder Ge, if it goes on like this, three days will definitely not be enough!" Seeing this, Li Xian said worriedly: "I have to find a way, hurry up and get those damn cavalry away!" β
Yang Rong glanced at Li Xian, and the meaning was very clear, you are the leader of the army, isn't this your responsibility?
"Hey," Li Xian wanted to slap himself, and said in his heart, why do I have such a mouth? But Yang Rong had the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand, so he couldn't help but shirk it, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "I'm willing to rate 10,000...... Oh no, 20,000 cavalry, go and destroy ...... Oh no, drive away the enemy troops. β
Yang Rong nodded and smiled reluctantly: "Then there is Master Lao." β
Saying that, Yang Rong shook the Son of Heaven Sword in his hand intentionally or unintentionally, which frightened Li Xian's face pale, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he went to order troops and prepare to go on the expedition.
Looking at Li Xian's back, Yang Rong shook his head and sighed, the generals of the Ming Dynasty are really not as good as the generation. At the time of the founding of the country, the famous generals were like clouds and the sky in the sky; At the time of the Jingjing, it had already been adjusted to almost zero, but Zhu Di's military general group was still above the level. Up to now, it is directly full of useless second ancestors like Dingguo Gong and Li Xian!
The only powerful ones were a group of expeditionary generals led by Wang Xian and Liu Sheng, and all of them rebelled against the imperial court......
Thinking of this, Yang Ge Lao couldn't help but look beyond the Tongzhou battlefield and looked at the capital from afar, and sighed secretly in his heart: "Lord Shoufu, you are destroying the Great Wall...... (To be continued.) )
