Ren Xuebiao, the magistrate of Lingxian County, has been making a difficult decision recently, he has been struggling for the past few days, and he has wanted to make up his mind several times to drink the things in the small porcelain bottle in his arms, if he drinks it, he will not be so tormented, so helpless!

Several times, he took out this small porcelain bottle, but he still didn't have the courage to drink it, it was easy to make a decision, but it was very difficult to implement, especially the choice between life and death, not many people would choose to die happily, it was better to die than to live.

But this Lai is alive, and he is not so lazy! In the past two days, the cavalry of the Tartars has been eyeing the city, and they have launched several tentative attacks. Although it was only a tentative attack, looking at the helpless and sad wails of the people who were driven to attack the city, Ren Xuebiao felt that his heart was dripping blood.

Especially watching the people besieging the city being shot by the soldiers defending the city, Ren Xuebiao felt that he was creating evil, and the tricks of the Tartars did not stop there, they mixed with the people who were besieging the city and shot the soldiers defending the city with cold arrows, although the casualties were not large, but this particularly hurt morale.

Yesterday, there were no more defenders willing to poke their heads out and shoot arrows downward, they all hid behind the walls, waited for people to climb up, and beat people down with weapons. Ren Xuebiao sighed, it seems that without reinforcements, this city will not last for a few days.

Ren Xuebiao was at such a time, the Tartars came again, and they were under the city, shouting in broken Chinese: "The men of the Central Plains have no seeds, they only dare to hide in the shell of a turtle, do you dare to go out of the city to fight us?" ”

No one dared to respond, and now the soldiers did not even dare to poke their heads out to attack each other. Not to mention the city battle.

Seeing that no one in the city dared to respond, the Tartars became even more rampant, and they laughed wildly: "The men of the Central Plains have no seeds, and your women, your wealth, and your food have to be enjoyed by us!" ”

As soon as they finished speaking, a woman's cry was heard, mixed with the sound of her clothes being torn. Ren Xuebiao punched the wall excitedly, gritted his teeth and said, "These beasts! He brought the captured woman to the city and insulted her! ”

The people behind the fence were all emotional. Flushed face. They all clenched their fists tightly. However, they just clenched their fists and did nothing. Because the people who couldn't stand this agitation two days ago stood up and attacked them, and were shot to death by the bow and arrow that had been waiting in the city for a long time.

Ren Xuebiao leaned weakly against the city wall. He burst into tears. He screamed and cried, "I'm sorry for you! I'm useless! I have betrayed the emperor's trust. Failed the people's trust! Die, die! You go first, and I'll follow. I will make amends to you when I get to the underworld! ”

Ren Xuebiao cried, reached into his arms tremblingly, and took out the small porcelain bottle, ready to end himself with it, saving himself so much.

The people on the side took out a small porcelain bottle and hurriedly stopped it, "My lord, don't, what should we do if you leave?" ”

"I can't do anything while I'm alive, I'm dead, if you can escape this catastrophe, the court will investigate it, and you can also punish it lightly!" Ren Xuebiao snatched the porcelain bottle and said lightly.

"My lord, why don't we sacrifice the city! The Tartars are just here to rob, we can't afford to be taken captive as slaves, and maybe they'll let us go if we offer to sacrifice the city! An attendant suggested from the side, and in his opinion, this was a good solution.

"Shut up! A certain person has read the books of sages since childhood, so that he will not commit himself to serving the barbarians! If I survive in this way, what face will I have to see my ancestors after I die? Ren Xuebiao suddenly shouted loudly, he would rather die than be a barbarian slave!

Everyone was drunk like this by Ren Xuebiao, and they didn't speak, what Ren Xuebiao said was reasonable, the ancestors couldn't do it, if they were really committed to the barbarians, not only would they have to be infamous in front of them, but they would have no shame to see their ancestors after death! As the people of the Ming Dynasty, integrity is still required.

"Everyone, we'll see you in the next life!" Ren Xuebiao said with a wry smile, opened the small porcelain bottle, and prepared to take poison and commit suicide.

Just as Renxue Standard was pouring the poison into his mouth, he suddenly remembered the deafening sound of the horn, and then a shout of killing came.

"My lord, listen, this is the sound of our Ming horn, we are saved, and the reinforcements are coming!" The people on the side hurriedly shouted in surprise.

Ren Xuebiao stopped what he was doing, he erected his ears, and sure enough, he heard the sound of the horn, he hurriedly opened the lookout hole excitedly, and saw a group of cavalry rushing over shouting and killing.

"Cavalry, our Ming cavalry! Heaven will not kill me! Ren Xuebiao shouted excitedly, if it weren't for the cold arrows under the city, he would have danced with his hands.

The people in the city were all overjoyed, and it was great that reinforcements finally came. They all cheered mercilessly, and after a moment of cheering, Jianren Xuebiao suddenly sat back weakly, and began to reach out for the small porcelain vase again.

Everyone was puzzled and said loudly: "My lord, don't do anything stupid, the reinforcements are coming, you don't have to die!" ”

Ren Xuebiao smiled bitterly, pointed to the lookout hole and said, "Look, who is here!" ”

Everyone was puzzled and hurriedly came over, and then they exclaimed: "Why is it not wearing military uniforms, it looks like a team exercise!" ”

"Look at how many of them there are!" Ren Xuebiao reminded weakly.

"Huh? Why are there only so many people, and the other reinforcements, they are not as many as the Tartars, they are here to find death! "In the minds of the people, if there are not four or five times the number of the Tartars, they will not be able to win against the Tartars. So they couldn't help but worry about these cavalrymen, thinking that they were here to die!

"Engaged, engaged! Don't rush to death, my lord, we have to cheer them on! I'll have to kill a few Tartars anyway! "The people on the side are not optimistic about these reinforcements who are coming, but they still want to cheer, so they should be given a ride.

"Alright, drumming!" Ren Xuebiao is weak

It's close, it's close, it's ready to attack immediately, Tian Boguang rode on the horse, his heart was hot, and he shouted: "Let the Tartars see the power of our muskets first!" ”

The cavalrymen immediately took out their mounted rifles, which had been specially made for them, put the two claw-like objects of the mounted spears in their hands, and then took aim at them, and then shot them out.

The Houjin cavalry often fought with the Liaodong army of the Ming Dynasty, and they saw that this group of cavalry that was neither like the official army nor the militia was so far away and opened fire, they were very happy in their hearts, it seemed that they had met a rookie this time.

But what is the saying? It's not that I don't understand, it's that this world is changing fast! They encountered advanced muskets, rifled muskets and unrifled muskets, and the power of the two was incomparable. As soon as they finished their rejoicing, they saw that the cavalry in front of them had been shot one after another and fell off their horses.

The Houjin cavalry was ruthless in his heart, our Jurchens are invincible in cavalry and shooting, you can shoot at most one shot, and when you enter our range, see how we clean you up! They began to flap their horses desperately, preparing to close the distance between the two sides faster, and clean up each other with bows and arrows.

But what surprised them was that the other party also sped up, did they want to compete with us in the bow and arrow?

The two sides finally entered the range of bows and arrows, and the golden cavalry immediately drew their bows and fired, but what they didn't expect was that only a few sparse arrows were shot at the other side, and the rest threw out a very strangely shaped log.

What made the Houjin cavalry laugh even more was that they thought this was a powerful weapon, and they were still trying to prevent it from being hit, but the opponent's arm strength was obviously not good, and they were thrown to a place one or twenty feet away from them.

But what made them depressed, or frightened, happened, for the cavalry charging at high speed, a distance of one or twenty zhang is a matter of one or two breaths, when they just rushed to the place where the other party threw wood, suddenly there was an explosion that shattered the sky and the earth, and the violent explosion blew many people on their backs, breaking their hands and feet!

The first time the Houjin cavalry encountered this situation, the violent explosion frightened the horses under them, and the startled horses knocked many cavalry to the ground, and then were trampled into flesh by the cavalry who caught up behind, and the frightened cavalry did not have time to breathe, and saw the opponents rushing up with sabers.

The cavalry of Houjin is basically the elite of the Eight Banners, they are all experienced in a hundred battles, and the Manchu Qing in later generations boasted that they were invincible in cavalry and archery, but that was a lie, the cavalry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time basically belonged to the existence of cavalry infantry, and most of them were better at foot combat!

This group of cavalry was the elite of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because they believed that they were elite cavalry, so after the large army began to withdraw, they stayed, ready to rob more goods and livestock. And their commander was also very relieved of their combat effectiveness, so he let them stay.

I didn't think about it, it was because of greed that they met their opponents, and they met opponents beyond their imagination, and the chaotic Houjin cavalry was rushed up by the other party, like cutting melons, cutting down many people. In just one round, more than 100 people were killed.

"Kill them all!" Jia La'e Zhen shouted loudly, this time he took two Niu Lu out to "hunt", and he was killed half of Niu Lu as soon as they met, which made him go back to explain to Belle Ye Duoduo, for today's plan, only by killing the enemy in front of him, can he be punished lightly.

As soon as Jia La'e Zhen spoke, he attracted a lot of enemies for himself, only to see Liu San rush up quickly, raise his saber and chop down, Jia La's Ezhen hurriedly avoided, and at the same time swung the knife in reverse to cut at Liu San, but what he didn't expect was that Liu San didn't avoid it at all.

Liu San just measured his body, and as a result, the knife slashed firmly on Liu San's left arm, and cut off Liu San's arm, Liu San couldn't help but scream, but he didn't pause at all in his hand, and directly cut off Jia La's neck, and cut off Jia La's head with a knife.

The queen's golden cavalry was horrified, and they shouted one after another: "Ezhen is dead!" (To be continued......)
